The proposed new History curriculum (grades 4 –12) has been gazetted for comment. It proposes an African- centred curriculum, taking a cue from both archaeology and oral history to not frame African and South African history around colonialism. This important move has been worked on by a task team for over a decade (since the Ministerial Task Team was put together). Now that the document is in the public domain, it is the responsibility of the History Education community to engage with it in detail and work through its implications.
