The Arts in Education study was conducted in Jordan; it was completed by the Queen Rania Foundation for Education and Development in January 2017.  The study's topic aligns with the conference theme “Beyond Literacy and Numeracy: rethinking the curriculum.” The Arts  in Education study relied on a qualitative research methodology, and included a literature review, a situational analysis, and stakeholder interviews to investigate the role of arts in education; in particular, it explored the evidence surrounding the benefits of arts in education, innovative practices for the incorporation of arts into successful educational systems such as art integration, and recommended strategies at both the policy level and the classroom level for introducing art education into the Jordanian formal and non-formal education systems. The findings show promising ways in which art can be part of teaching and learning around the world.
