Going to staple this to the foreheads of everybody who thinks that STEM degrees are God and that the arts and humanities are an afterthought
I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.
