Closed petition Review the National Curriculum for history & include the Holocaust as a subject

I would like to see the syllabus for History GCSE and A level changed to focus on the History of Britain and focus on what we have achieved in this country to help people understand our past. I also believe that The Holocaust and Genocide should be taught as a separate, compulsory GCSE subject.

More details

With recent news reports coming out that most teenagers and young adults believing that World War Two happened in the 1950s and that they have very little understanding of what happened its time to change the history Syllabus. Less focus on European and American history and focus on the history of this country, what we have achieved, how we grew and how we influenced the world. The holocaust and Genocide should be taught as a separate and compulsory subject to help gain a better understanding
