Petition Action

Make it compulsory for pupils to be learn about UK’s role in the slave trade

Petition Details

It is only through education we will be able to eradicate racism and the current curriculum has not provided sufficient education to help bring about the social change needed to make all people be treated equally.
Making it just optional will not work, racism persists and requires more from us all

Additional Information

Improve the National Curriculum so that all pupils will be taught about the issues of racism in our history, in sport, how it affects job prospects, in citizenship issues, etc so they can fully understand why Black Lives Matter
