‘However, the removal of the EBacc measure, coupled with the Government’s proposed changes to Progress 8, puts the humanities in direct competition with each other and with the arts.’ Glad to see the HA aligning with @britishacademy.bsky.social on this: humanities AND arts, not either/or, surely?

"However, the removal of the EBacc measure, coupled with the Government’s proposed changes to Progress 8, puts the humanities in direct competition with each other and with the arts" Same as it was in the mid-1990s. 😞

During 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, he said: "I remember living, naked women being transported by trucks from the barracks to the gas chamber. I still hear their screams in my subconscious when I return in my thoughts to those events." His address: youtu.be/5X2UE8JOyLw

The History and wider team at @endsexisminschools.bsky.social are grateful for the support of @histassoc.bsky.social for making their articles and research into women in the curriculum open in their article on our report. Change is possible, thank you HA! www.history.org.uk/secondary/ca...

It doesn't surprise me that this has happened to women in history lessons/the curriculum because the 'knowledge rich' push always came from the angle of 'dead white men'. Gove's whole approach was underpinned by a macho ethos despite claims it was about 'the best that has been thought and said'.
