Make British colonial history a larger part of the national history curriculum

Closed 45 signatures

What the petition asks

We propose that the national history curriculum does not currently promote the study of British colonial history, a defining period for Britain and its Commonwealth peers, to a suitable degree of depth. We seek a parliamentary debate on whether the national curriculum should be changed accordingly
