Jeremy Corbyn today unveiled proposals to ensure schoolchildren are taught about the legacy of Britain's role in slavery and colonialism. The move comes on the same day as Labour faces accusations that it is 'putting ideology first and children second' with its plans to impose a new rule book on all schools. The National Curriculum already recommends that children learn about the slave trade, the British Empire and colonies in America. Mr Corbyn said that 'in the light of the Windrush scandal' it is 'more important now than ever' that children learn 'the role and legacy of the British Empire, colonisation and slavery'.
