How realistic and appropriate are the cultural experiences the Henley Review recommended all young people should have at certain ages; what other experiences, if any, should young people be entitled to in addition to this guidance? How can schools be encouraged to focus on cultural activities such as film and dance that do not feature prominently in the National Curriculum Programmes of Study? What balance should be struck between active participation in culture, such as performing or composing a piece of music, and passive enjoyment, such as watching a play? What weight should be given to contemporary and classical examples in cultural education; what consideration should cultural education providers give to local, national and international cultures? How far should schools encourage cultural experiences that are enjoyed in groups and those that are experienced individually?

What are the challenges for providing a cultural education in rural areas without easily‐accessible cultural venues, and how can these be addressed? What are the resource issues for schools of providing a thorough cultural education for pupils, particularly when this requires out‐of‐school visits? How well do the new Programmes of Study for Art & Design and Music support the delivery of cultural education, and how can cultural education be incorporated across the curriculum? What impact has the National Music Education Plan had so far; is there a case for similar plans for other elements of culture? What further steps can schools and specialist organisations take to cater for those pupils with a particular interest or ability in one aspect of culture? How can greater engagement between schools and external organisations be promoted, and how can organisations involved in delivering cultural education work together to ensure coherence and standardisation of the cultural education received by young people? How can the ‘cultural education passport’ be introduced to be most useful for young people and cultural organisations?
