Pupils' creativity to be assessed
Published:  12 March, 2008

Pupils could soon face assessments of their creativity under plans to boost the "soft skills" employers want.

Ministers believe creativity not only has a benefit in its own right, but can also raise academic standards.

The government says it is monitoring work by the exams watchdog on how best to measure children's creative abilities in schools.

The plans were revealed in the government's response to a Commons education committee report on an initiative called Creative Partnerships, which brings artists and other creative professionals into schools.
