Review how the curriculum can be more diverse and culturally enriching

Education systems allow children to access the wide variety of diverse perspectives that the world has to offer. By introducing more females and BAME topics to the curriculum, students will benefit from both a broader range of knowledge and also develop a greater sense of the wider world

Every year, thousands of children pass through the UK's education system. The literature they are taught is dominated by male authors and poets from the west, with female writers and authors of colour in a distinct minority. The history they are taught is overwhelming also from the west; very rarely branching outside of Europe and the USA. By reviewing the current curriculum and introducing more diversity, children will develop a wider perspective of their past and how it impacts their future.
