Check out this exam paper 13 year old's in Inverness were expected to answer in 1944 and then compare with your 13 year old's History exam papers in what passes for 'Education' today. Do you agree that standards have declined? If not what are your reasons? If you agree that standards have declined what do you put this down to? | |

No you can't, but you can be compelled to by law as in Canada. | | | |

So pre-school children force fed an ideology will be unaffected ? Ok. Why is it important to tell children how to think about gender, sexuality and skin colour then instead of letting them work these things out for themselves at their own pace? [Post edited 31 May 2021 15:08]

You ll find people are unable to exchange views without resorting to hate speech. That is also down to education and upbringing. | |

The decline in educational standards... on 17:45 - May 31 with 884 views | KeithHaynes | It’s only to be expected, and if it increases awareness and decreases hate then I’m all for it. The Welsh education system needs to broaden the mind, not everyone will stay in the country regardless of the population of non white people. Essential.

Or Italian as far more of Italian roots than most other ethnic groups | |

Of all the things I regret the most as we continue on this ugly trajectory toward cheap, homogenised mass-consumerism the demise and virtual disappearance of the Italian ‘caff’ ranks right up there. | |

You should be writing for the New Statesman. I'm an arrogant jerk and can hold my own with anyone when I put my mind to it but your eloquence eclipses my pyss poor efforts. | |

Do you really think it will increase awareness of hate ? Why not call it a "History lesson" which would include all creeds and colours. | |

The decline in educational standards... on 17:58 - Jun 2 with 655 views | Ajack_Kerouac | Do you think they’ll teach the kids about the effects of Socialism in Africa? The Rwandan genocide? The relentless creep of Islam into sub-Saharan Africa? How Islam conquered North Africa? The Islamic invasion of Spain and the taking of Europeans as slaves? The fact that it was Africans and African chiefs who captured slaves and sold them on and that many of these chiefs resisted Britain’s abolition of slavery? Fat chance. 😠Black history will be more political brainwashing of our children by the Left. | |

What socialism in Africa? Why not in other countries? Why socialism? Why not communism? or the feudal system? Why the Rwandan genocide? Why not Haiti? Or the killing of native Americans? Why Islam in North Africa? Why not the Catholic Church. Why not the Crusades? You seem to want the history curriculum to be precisely what you think it should be. Fortunately it’s balanced (apart from the sensible focus on British history, which across primary and secondary school makes up about 80% of the content). | | | |
The decline in educational standards... on 21:34 - Jun 2 with 626 views | controversial_jack | Mass immigration from the Caribbean into Britain only really happened from the 1950s onwards. That's during the lifetime of most of us on here I doubt it needs more than a few chapters in a history manual to get it across to pupils. Yes, they did come earlier, the Windrush in 48 and there had been some here before that for centuries, but does it need to be anymore than just a few chapters? | | | |

Maybe they'll teach about Mansa Musa, his vast wealth and all the slaves he owned? | |

All the bad bits will be airbrushed out, I can assure you of that. It's legal brainwashing of Welsh school children, god bless Drakeford and our wonderful Senedd. | |

The decline in educational standards... on 22:06 - Jun 2 with 606 views | Gwyn737 | I’ve read the report and the recommendations. It’s not about teaching black history. It’s about acknowledging the contribution BAME people have made to the word through deeds and culture and understanding how previous barriers have been overcome. It’s likely IMO that this will be taught through PSHE and Citizenship under the umbrella of tolerance and respect. There is no mandatory requirement to teach ‘Black History’ as a topic/subject. | | | |

Thank you for posting, it ensures we get the facts as opposed to the Daily Mail narrative. | | | |
