S1E22: Unite not divide: Raj Unsworth discusses the importance of governance and the real need to see Partition and British colonial history on the curriculum
Show Notes

Raj Unsworth joins the duo to discuss the importance of strong governance in education and the impact of Covid. Raj also discusses the work of the Partition Education Group (@partitiongroup) and their campaign to see Partition and South Asian British History on the National Curriculum. The duo also discuss with Raj the need to see the British Empire and our colonial history taught in schools and how we need to understand how people have arrived in Britain as a means to start to fix broken society.

Also, check out Filling The Blanks, a group of 16 - 18 year olds who are campaigning to fill the gaps in their education with knowledge about how they came to be in Britain and how their parents arrived here. This is a very important project which every educator should check out and support.
