What does ‘Decolonise the Curriculum’ mean to you? Pran Patel looks at the school curriculum in the UK. He utilises his personal experience of education in the UK as a pupil, teacher and secondary school senior leader.
He asks questions such as what is the future of curriculum development in the UK? Why is my curriculum white? What is the impact of an ethnocentric curriculum? Will school leave some pupils feeling inferior? More importantly, will school leave the majority of pupils (white) in the UK with a sense of superiority?
