Introduce the British Empire as a mandatory part of the Key Stage 3 curriculum

Closed 1,801 signatures

What the petition asks

Currently the British Empire is an optional and small footnote on the History syllabus. A thorough and balanced mandatory module should be introduced to proportionally reflect the impact the Empire has had on our diverse UK population, and its impact on public attitudes towards immigration and race.
