Black history should be embedded in the national curriculum
Black history should be embedded in the national curriculum and taught in schools in England year round, as an alternative to the limitation of Black History Month.
Black history should be added to the national curriculum to develop a sense of identity and belonging among young people, as well as help build social cohesion and raise attainment. Black History Month has been an annual fixture in the UK since 1987, celebrated in schools and at tens of thousands of events across the country, but in 2018 a row occurred after a number of local authorities scrapped the name, rebranding it “diversity month”. Progress must carry on.
