Abstract. The article explores the role of cultural and artistic education in shaping creative human capital in the context of modern challenges. It examines the significance of cultural and artistic education as an important factor in developing innovative skills, social cohesion and economic growth. The need to develop creative human capital is highlighted not only in international but also in national strategies. It is demonstrated that cultural and artistic education contributes to the preparation of specialists for cultural and creative industries, which play a key role in the global economy. The analysis focuses on the expenditures from the consolidated budget of Ukraine for culture and arts for the years 2018-2023. It also examines the allocation of planned expenditures for culture and the arts in the 2023 budget, the training of specialists in professional pre-higher and higher education institutions in the field of “Culture and Arts” in the academic years 2020-2024, as well as the distribution of funds from the state budget of Ukraine for the training of personnel in the cultural and artistic sphere by these institutions in 2021 and 2023. Based on the conducted analysis, conclusions are drawn regarding the reduction of funding for cultural and artistic education, the issue of acquiring relevant business competencies among education seekers in this field, the outflow of creative specialists, the destruction of cultural infrastructure, and other war-related challenges. Recommendations are proposed for developing policies that will facilitate the recovery of creative human capital, specifically through the implementation of such areas as: state policy in the field of culture and art; ensuring the quality of cultural and artistic education; increasing funding; inclusiveness and accessibility of education; expanding international partnerships; funding through cultural projects; support programmes for young talents; integration of innovative technologies; and the development of interdisciplinary programmes. The study concludes that systemic changes in cultural and artistic education are essential to ensure sustainable development and the country’s post-war recovery.
Keywords: cultural and artistic education, creative human capital, education funding, culture, arts.
