Black History Month: How teachers tackle this subject will reveal how far we've come

Josh Preye Garry has been tasked with redesigning his school's history curriculum for Year 7 to Year 9Josh Preye Garry is a secondary school teacher and deputy head of history in southwest London.

He has been given the chance to shake up what 11 to 14-year-olds learn about Britain's past in school. Here, he explains that the way teachers tackle Black History Month is an indicator of how far we've managed to decolonise the curriculum. Like my previous school, my current school are very forward thinking in providing me with the platform to decolonise the curriculum and have given me the responsibility of designing the one for Key Stage 3.We are still in the process of redesigning it, but I believe that our Key Stage 3 curriculum will be far more reflective of our demographic within the next two to four years.

We are planning on delivering units on Mansa Musa in the medieval African kingdoms, Islamic civilisations, migration to Britain, African Tudors and much more.

When’s white history month

This is purely American affair . Not needed in this country !!

R*cists when someone brings up black history month. Or black anything

I think looking at the leaders of colour it the highest ranks of government shows how far we’ve come. 🤷‍♂️

I hope Steve Bunce is advising them

It’s about balance that’s all Education is the key to creating more balanced individuals U do that by giving insight into things that don’t directly affect you It is a life skill which will create better people
