We urge the UK government to recognise the humanities and social sciences as a public good and to invest fully in their future rather than leaving them to the vagaries of the market.

STOP CUTTING FUNDING. Its essential for our kids to learn history and social studies or we are going to lose our grasp on reality.

need to keep these subjects funded. without them we are missing the point of education entirely.

Too much focus on STEM and not enough on the actual culture. shame on the government for this.

The way they talk about these subjects like they dont matter to society is crazy. everything isnt about making a quick profit.
