Make the Palestinian Nakba part of the Key Stage 3 history curriculum
We call on the Department for Education to include the Palestinian Nakba (1948) as a compulsory topic in the Key Stage 3 history curriculum.
At present, only the Holocaust is mandated by law. Other important global events are left optional, meaning many pupils finish school without learning about the Nakba. Including it would:
• Provide balance when teaching the creation of Israel.
• Help pupils understand the roots of a major ongoing conflict.
• Encourage critical thinking about migration, refugees, and decolonisation.
• Ensure that Britain’s role in world history is taught in a fuller, more accurate way.
