Barriers & Strategies
How locked are the arts in your school?
Twelve barriers, found in IB World Schools on four continents, quietly steer students away from the arts. Tap the ones you hear in your school.
From diagnosis to action
The barriers rarely act alone. Neither should the answers.
A timetable clash reinforces a parent’s worry, which counselling advice confirms, which rests on an assumption about university requirements. Unlocking the Arts shows how to unpick them in the order you can act on them.
