In the UK’s current education system, it is not compulsory for schools to educate secondary students on the British Empire/British colonialism or the British involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. The issue here is that many students will lack knowledge on the truth behind the British Empire and the damages of colonialism which are all valuable pieces of information to learn about. Colonialism is multifaceted so it is imperative to unpack the history of the British Empire, the damages and effects of it and how the impacts of colonialism are still seen today.
