Researchers from Devon and Cornwall say teaching creativity in schools helps teachers and pupils.
It follows a study involving teachers in Cornwall and researchers from Exeter University and Penryn College.
The study investigated if teaching for creativity leads young people being better prepared for their futures. Researchers found "notable increases" in both teachers' abilities to facilitate creativity, and students developing creative skills. One teacher said: "This study has confirmed to me that making the time and space for creativity in the secondary classroom is vital if we want to equip teenagers with the kinds of skills that they so clearly need for the future."
Penryn Partnership - a collaboration of schools in west Cornwall - and University of Exeter academics have now published their findings.The were fewer treasure finds reported in Cornwall last year, new provisional figures show – despite a record number of finds across the country.
