Political party Reform UK says that schools should put up Union Jacks and pictures of King Charles III, and change the way they teach history.

Nigel Farage’s party claims that history lessons are too “progressive” at the moment, and pupils are taught to feel “shame” in Britain. It says that pupils should be more proud to be British and celebrate figures like former Prime Minister Winston Churchill (above).

It adds that if it won a general election and came to power, then within 100 days, 60% of history lessons would focus on Britain, covering topics like Magna Carta, the Wars of the Roses and the Victorians. It would step in if any schools didn’t follow the rules.

The latest curriculum, drawn up in 2013, teaches secondary pupils “how Britain has influenced and been influenced by the wider world”.

Jonny Walker, an author and teacher in East London, told First News: “British history has proud and shameful events, and pretending otherwise is dishonest and disrespectful to the intelligent minds of young students. Good education should be opening complex conversations, not closing them down.”

Each of the four nations sets their own curriculum, so a general election win would only allow Reform to change England’s curriculum.
