Yes, Think this might be a good idea, although not sure if skill sets are that important in sculpture.
No 5
Absolutely not. Less bureaucracy. It is already more about evaluation than creativity.
Feels that it is a an alright level. Most people know what they are doing.
No, not much use to it.

Could be quite a good idea.
Staff specific to technology yes, but otherwise no. But support should be there for people wanting to use things digitally.
YES- specifically the STAFF. some the of the key staff for digital equipment are incredibly unhelpful and don’t know what they are doing. It’s terrible.
Yes, it would give people more motivation to broaden their skills if they are aware of what they are missing on.

The staff only
Most said students are usually of the younger generation, and so their skills not need to be evaluated. However staff should be in order to “keep up with the times”. A few said nobody’s skills need to be evaluated.
No 1

Yes because some staff don't update things
Staff need to be evaluated, students don't “because we are the new generation”
