Add Colonisation & the Trans Alantic Slavery to the History National Curriculum
To tackle the rising tide of racial discontent in this country add the Trans Alantic Slave Trade, Colonisation, Decolonisation and BAME influences/roles during WWII as mandatory topics of study to the National Curriculum for History from Key Stage 1 all the way through to GCSEs.
The British education system for generations has only allowed us to learn a very select history.
Everyone educated here knows about the Tudors and Stuarts, we learn a curated view of the World Wars and of course the Battle of Hastings. But nothing on the Trans Alantic Slave Trade, colonalism or the role of the colonies in the World Wars.
This denies generations the opportunity to understand the true global impact of the UK and falsely writes ethnic minorities out of British history.
