THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH: History should be a compulsory subject for British students sitting their GCSEs, the historian and broadcaster Niall Ferguson has said.
British schools are failing to properly teach children about major events due to a “junk history” curriculum, which has left standards at an all-time low, he said.
Prof Ferguson, 45, who has also presented a Channel 4 series of the world’s financial history, attacked the subject’s decline, arguing it was badly taught and undervalued. >>> Andrew Hough | Sunday, March 21, 2010
