In a move to 'decolonise' the curriculum, Scotland's exams body has opted to remove the terms 'slaves' and 'slave trade' from its references. This shift aims to promote a more inclusive and sensitive approach to education, acknowledging the historical context of colonialism and its ongoing impact. By adopting this change, Scotland's education system seeks to provide a more nuanced understanding of history, incorporating diverse perspectives and experiences. Key themes include decolonisation, curriculum reform, and inclusive education.
