History lessons are too Eurocentric and should have less time devoted to slavery as it puts black children off the subject, a new report has claimed. The Royal Historical Society said there was a 'relentless focus' on slavery, which it said was 'limiting and, at times, alienating' for black pupils. The report claims that 89 per cent of history and philosophy students are white, in comparison to 77.3 per cent of all students. It also added racism is a shared experience for some black and ethnic minority staff and students. He added that students should challenge ideas instead as part of the process of learning.
