Free up our curriculum to teach more about global history, culture and societies

Petition Details

London alone encompasses more than 270 nationalities and 300 languages yet we are teaching history from a very narrow perspective.

This is no longer compatible with the diversity we have in our cities. What we need is a new approach that is more holistic.

Additional Information

Instead of separating black history to one month why don't we just teach history from a global perspective. After all we don't do one month of European or Asian History. It's all intertwined.

This is something that will benefit every child as having a greater conception of world history means we can learn lessons from it and see how it informs the present.
