=  Adapted curriculum in British Colonies  =

Topic Paragraph
This article will discuss the changes British colonisers made to education curriculum in countries that they dominated. They made these changes to curricula in order to subdue the population of these countries. This is because colonisers thought that in one colony, India, when people were becoming more educated and have higher standards in taste it would lead to mutiny, after witnessing the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857. Therefore, they adapted curriculum in order to put a glass ceiling above colonised people's capabilities. This stopped them having the knowledge that would allow them to develop opposing opinions about colonisers and be able to combat against them. Moreover, this article will cover changes to curriculum in other British colonies such as South Africa, Australia and Kenya.
