Too often learning 'British history' means learning 'English history' – but overburdened schoolteachers are not to blame

What passes for “British history” is, all too often, merely the history of England with bits of the histories of Scotland, Wales and Ireland tacked on when they affected events in England.

Key Points: 
  • What passes for “British history” is, all too often, merely the history of England with bits of the histories of Scotland, Wales and Ireland tacked on when they affected events in England.
  • “You wouldn’t say it if you were in Belfast.” It only takes a short stroll through Belfast to see why.
  • The events of 1690 are still a sensitive topic in Northern Ireland, but they’re largely unknown in the rest of the UK.

School constraints

    • It is quite normal for any country’s educational system to give priority to its national history.
    • This has remained central to government thinking ever since the introduction of the national curriculum at the end of the 1980s.
    • Teachers in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have long tried to balance the history of these nations with that of England.
    • But for teachers in England, the problem is compounded precisely because England dwarfs the other nations in size and population.

The role of broadcasters

    • The Northern Ireland Brexit Protocol and the continuing saga of demands for Scottish independence remind us that these histories should not be of interest only to nerds: we all need to know them.
    • Looking for something good?

China's new anti-espionage law is sending a chill through foreign corporations and citizens alike

These include the ability to access people’s emails or social media accounts on electronic devices.

Key Points: 
  • These include the ability to access people’s emails or social media accounts on electronic devices.
  • Red banners have started appearing on Chinese streets, proclaiming
    Implement the new anti-espionage law, mobilise collective efforts to safeguard national security.
  • These visible signs serve as reminders that spies could be anywhere, potentially feeding sensitive information to foreign entities that pose threats to China’s national security and interests.

Implications of the new law

    • The new law has sent a chill through multinational corporations, Chinese companies and other organisations.
    • Multinationals themselves were once welcomed with open arms to help accelerate China’s economic and technological development.
    • Now, they find themselves entangled in a complex web of regulations governing the cross-border transfer of data and other information.
    • The expansive nature of the law evokes memories of the Cultural Revolution, an era in which little trust existed in society and even among family members.

Ambiguity has risks

    • The rivalry between the US and China has escalated in recent years in trade, technology, defence and influence over global institutions.
    • Both nations are actively engaging in intelligence operations to understand each other’s capabilities, intentions and vulnerabilities.
    • The lack of clarity with the revised anti-espionage law could give rise to witch hunts, leaving people vulnerable to accusations that lack substantial evidence.
