Children should learn 'good and bad' from British history

Next up is a question on whether children should be taught more about Britain's involvement in slavery when in school, in light of the Black Lives Matters protests.

Gavin Williamson says the national curriculum covers the British Empire, and it is "vitally important that when children are learning... they learn all aspects, both the good and bad".

But he says we should be "incredibly proud" of Britain's "rich history", adding: "Time and time and time again, this country has made a difference and changed things for the better right around the world."

Asked whether the tutoring plans could become a permanent fixture for those who need them most, the education secretary says the government is "looking at how we support schools and how we can continue to build on evidence-based initiatives".
