What the petition asks
We are calling for the Department for Education to commission and implement the findings of a task and finish group of educational stakeholders who should review the National Curriculum and suggest reforms in the context of equality and representation of BAME/BEM/Black communities.
Under the public sector equality duty public authorities are required to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations. It is not clear the current National Curriculum achieves this in respect of BAME/BME/Black groups, so this should be urgently reviewed, and any recommended reforms implemented.
