The Wikipedia article will present what histories are taught to English school students through the National Curriculum and the impacts this could be having on the worldview of students as they leave school. This will include what the national curriculum covers and aims to teach students in key stages 1,2, and 3 as this is what every person learns of history in the English school system. I will also then investigate what is covered during GCSEs and A-levels briefly just to show the extent that the empire is covered overall but will make it clear that these stages of education are not undertaken by everyone. I will also demonstrate the flaws that exist within this, such as the lack of coverage of the British Empire, particularly its actions that have negatively impacted the nations that were colonised, and why this is done to portray a particular narrative of history. However, I will acknowledge that the curriculum does now cover more than it used to and that individual schools can choose to cover more about the empire if they choose, but this is not compulsory. I will then show the way that the lack of teaching on these influential parts of history can have an impact on people’s perception of the world and Britain’s role in history, and the positives of adapting the curriculum so the Empire is not glorified, and certain aspects are no longer erased.
