The Humanities Association aims to ensure that children and young people in all schools and colleges benefit from strong, relevant and vibrant humanities provision. We believe that the Humanities is a crucial dimension of children's education which enables them to make sense of and participate in the increasingly complex world in which we live. The Association aims to provide an independent forum for debate about major issues in all aspects of Humanities education.
