Whose perspectives on the past have we remembered and whose have we allowed ourselves to forget? Feizah Bhatti discusses the steps we can take to decolonise our school curriculums.
Feizah is in Year 13 at NGHS. She has completed an EPQ on ethnic disparities in maternal healthcare, a topic which she is greatly passionate about. She is one of our Diversity Prefects, organising the Culture, Heritage, and History Day, and has helped our English department to decolonise the English curriculum. She is planning to study Medicine at the University of Manchester in September. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
