Concerns raised over 'ambitious' History curriculum overhaul

Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube has gazetted a proposed overhaul of South Africa's history curriculum, which could redefine future generations' understanding of identity and knowledge. Experts, including Professor Siona O'Connell from the University of Pretoria, have raised concerns that the project's ambition may be too much for the current conditions teachers face. The new curriculum aims to place Africa at the center of the historical narrative, moving away from a Eurocentric framework.
