EXCL: Over three-quarters of UK pupils call for Windrush Generation to be included in national curriculum Windrush75
The findings of a survey of 35,000 schoolchildren has renewed calls by education campaigners and community groups for Black British history to be a mandatory part of the national curriculum
The survey’s findings have been followed by renewed calls by education campaigners and community groups for the contribution of the Windrush Generation, and the teaching of Black history in schools, to be included as a mandatory part of the national school curriculum. Recently, organisations such as the West India Committee and the Black Cultural Archives have offered to support the Department of Education with their educational and archival resources in order to help the national curriculum be revised to more accurately reflect British and Caribbean history. However, there has been a lack of response from the government to the offers.
“One of the topics that came up in our surveys and teacher focus groups was about ensuring that histories such as the Windrush Generations are included in the curriculum but also, the difficulties around doing so.” People take a photograph of the statue dedicated to the Windrush generation at Waterloo Station. The sculpture by Basil Watson pays tribute to the Windrush generation who arrived in Britain from the Caribbean in the decades after World War II.
Some have argued that Gove’s policies mean that the teaching of Black history in England is seen as optional. In 2020,reported that less than 11% of GCSE students are studying modules relating to Black people’s contribution to Britain.
