The variety and quality of arts education have grown with the infusion of government grants and subsidies. At the School of the Arts, the only independent school for 13-to-18-year-olds specialising in the visual and performing arts, attendance is over-subscribed fivefold. It has 200 places for students every year but received more than 1,000 applicants in the last four years.
