Leading Article: History must not be forgotten 
July 25, 2007 | Main |
Last week’s report on history teaching by Ofsted, the education standards watchdog, gives a worrying insight into the way the subject is taught in schools. It has often been forgotten that history, like modern foreign languages, suffered a slump in take-up once it stopped being a compulsory part of the national curriculum after the age of 14. But that is not the main point of the report. Even before children reach 14, it appears, they get few lessons on chronological history ? of either the UK or the world.
