Question
Does the Cabinet Minister have any plans to incorporate the works of the historians Dr John Davies and Prof Gwyn Alf Williams into the national curriculum for the teaching of history?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Education and the Welsh Language (Anna Brychan)
There is no requirement for the inclusion of the works of particular historians in the Curriculum for Wales. Welsh history is mandatory in the curriculum and expects that learners have a range of opportunities to engage with experts in developing their understanding of the subject. As part of this, schools may draw on a range of historians, materials and resources.
