Unfortunately Michael Gove is now minister for education and seems to think that the role of history is to instill a common approved culture into kids by having them learn the dates of all the Kings and Queens.

History teaching in schools has been encouraged out by the present Tory regime as it was by the Blairite regime. Both share a desire to prevent the common horde from thinking too deeply. Consequently few schools have the timetable space to teach history, and are running scared from the national curriculum patchwork scheme of work - deviating from this risks adverse grading from Ofsted Inspectors, or 'parasites' as they are known in the trade.
Most schools offer at most 1 hour of history a week by year 9 - the year in which decisions about exam choices are made by pupils.
