✍️ A campaign in England seeks to add more female lives and achievements to the curriculum taught in schools, highlighting the absence of women in history lessons and the need for a more representative curriculum.
👉 Women are largely absent from history taught in key stage 3 👉 Only a handful of women are mentioned by name 👉 59% of history lessons at key stage 3 do not mention women at all 👉 Women are often portrayed as victims rather than protagonists 👉 The group wants the Department for Education to amend the national curriculum to include more women 👉 Examination boards should increase the number of named women across all historical periods
