In education system’s efforts to increase STEM education, the resulting de-emphasis on art has been detrimental to students and actually works against the goals of STEM inclusion. According to Education Secretary Arne Duncan, low-income students exposed to art courses during their high school education are significantly more likely to graduate and earn a bachelor’s degree (qtd. in Hawkins).
