DESCRIPTION:In July 2013\, the Australian Federal Government endorsed the 
 F-10 The Arts  curriculum framework\, a document produced after many years
  of development and consultation nationwide.  In this document the arts co
 mprises dance drama\, media arts\, music and visual arts. Now available fo
 r implementation in each State and Territory of Australia\, the nature and
  structure of the framework remains in question with regard to what aspect
 s of the curriculum will be supported for implementation in Australian sch
 ools. As yet not one State has adopted the full curriculum for implementat
 ion. This presentation considers the Australian curriculum design process 
 and highlights the interplays between decisions and decision-makers relati
 ng to issues of what knowledge is valued and who gets to decide. \n\n\n*Bi
