Actually, in lots of ways - yes, we do. Almost everyone can set out a basic timeline of historical events leading from a given point to the present. The question is really: do ordinary citizens have an expert knowledge of history? There the answer is absolutely no. As ever. 1/3 https://twitter.com/BBCWalesNews/status/1194861663989780480

The biggest issue that arises from the report is the assumption of a singular narrative of National History - which is non existent in factual reality - and the assertion of more understanding of ethnic minorities leaves aside a swathe of other more ubiquitous minorities. 2/3

Put bluntly, the history of Butetown is not the history of Bethesda or even Swansea. You need an expert knowledge of sources to be able to tease out the lived history of BAME people in most parts of Wales, and schools are not up to that - teachers don't possess the skills. 3/3

Finally - sorry 4/3! - this is not a profound, professional reflection on integrating history into the curriculum but a report of special interest groups. It should be properly derided as such. There is scope to consider fuller integration of more historical experience - take it.
