Include British colonial history as a mandatory part of the national curriculum
As the Black Lives Matter movement has gained significant traction the past weeks it has become clear there is a huge gap in Britain's understanding of its own colonial history. A major part of overcoming systematic racism is educating people, especially about our role in perpetuating those systems
The government sets the national curriculum, therefore it is within their purview to ensure all students are adequately educated about our colonial history
