I am very worried that Cymru Fach means that black+BAME history is going to be left off the curriculum. We were invited as @1919raceriots to contribute to consultation but couldn& #39;t afford to take time off vs BAME third sector organisations who were paid by their work to attend https://twitter.com/BBCWalesNews/status/1194861663989780480">https://twitter.com/BBCWalesN...
I& #39;m a youth member of the National Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Youth Forum organised by @rcccymru. I agree w/ @UzoIwobi when she black history in Wales must not be optional. She said leaving this decision to teachers and schools was "not good enough".
If left to own devices, all schools apart from Docks and some schools in Cardiff would only "celebrate" #BlackHistoryMonth

We know schools won& #39;t forget to teach

what makes these more valid than learning about black history? can we really leave it up to teachers?

When some people are paid to be in the room and others are expected to take time off work, that& #39;s a power dynamic innit.
@theredcardwales wrote a fantastic report on "racism and anti racism in the welsh education system" where they found the following information.
I wonder how confident teachers would feel teaching black and asian history given the racial landscape in Welsh schools
