FAIL, BRITANNIA: Labour to make national curriculum more ‘diverse.’
Bridget Phillipson, the Education Secretary, has begun a review to “refresh” what is taught in schools, pledging to “breathe new life into our outdated curriculum”.
The new curriculum will be compulsory in all state schools, including academies that were previously free to opt out.
The Telegraph can reveal that the Department for Education’s terms of reference for the overhaul explicitly say that the department (DfE) aims to create a curriculum that reflects the “diversities of our society” and help produce young people who “appreciate the diversity” of Britain.
This newspaper has also seen suggestions for changes to the curriculum that have been submitted to the review by unions and other teaching groups, including for how to “decolonise” subjects which have been branded too “mono-cultural”.
Unions aren’t a teaching group.
Britons elected a hard-left government and were somehow shocked when it started governing from the hard-left.
