What History should our children learn if they leave school at 16?


History has long had the unjust label of a ‘boring’ subject.


As a History graduate with a continuing keen interest, I think it is vital for pupils to be given a proper grounding in the past.


A knowledge of our past is crucial to understanding the present and unravelling the possible future.


I would like History to be compulsory to 16 in the UK with a strong bent towards the twentieth century – the melting pot for the world we live in now.


Let’s get back to thinking, to reading, to essay writing; only then can opinions and arguments be formed.


Let’s stop spoon feeding History and try to engage young minds in investigating the past. The internet presents a perfect tool.
