Good start. I do hope that mandatory learning of UK (actually the whole western society) imperial history (not white washed version) would be next step.

This is a very weird, obvious bias and conflicting article.
“while adding that funding of at least £2.2 million would be put in place to allow students to visit Auschwitz.”
Which is a very small amount given how many kids there are.
The rest of the article stinks of pro colonization.

ChatGPT article.
The title mentions “exemptions” but the text doesn’t.Â
“All British students will learn about the Holocaust in school” implies they currently don’t yet half the History syllabus at GCSE level is the holocaust and the Nazis (to the exclusion of other important subjects like Ireland, the France revolution and pretty much all European history between 42BC and about 1914).

Good, now do the ‘Irish potato famine’ which is in fact a genocide. And while you’re there do colonial India too

At my school, for GCSEs if you chose to study history there was a topic called Life under Nazi rule, and it covered from the rise of Hitler into power all the way to then end of WW2, there was even an optional school trip that I went on to Germany for a few days, where we went to Nuremberg and Munich and saw various museums, sites, and even Dachau camp. Was one of my favourite subjects to learn

But hypocritical of them to cover up genocides of jews in islamic history and teachings

Headline is a bit inaccurate. There is no ‘UK curriculum’ as education is devolved to the separate nations. The PM’s jurisdiction on education concerns England only, not the UK.

Pretty interesting subject to study, though I’d much rather military history
Wonder why the Empire isn’t taught

And the UKpolitics sub is already saying that if they teach the holocaust they also need to teach the Israel/Palestine war, which is such a dumb comparison.
