The NASUWT's annual conference heard that the national curriculum is 'lacking' and some teachers have taken it into their own hands to 'decolonise their classrooms'. It noted that the national curriculum should 'reflect, respect and value the contributions of all communities' that have contributed to building the UK. 'It is crucial to recognise that black history is all of our history.' She told the conference: 'The national curriculum is lacking and the fact that our exam boards don't value and reward the diversity of content is an issue.' I am able to do this because the current national curriculum allows me the freedom to choose what is important to teach.'
