- Whose perspectives on the past have we remembered and whose have we allowed ourselves to forget? Feizah Bhatti discusses the steps we can take to decolonise our school curriculums.
Feizah is in Year 13 at NGHS. She has completed an EPQ on ethnic disparities in maternal healthcare, a topic which she is greatly passionate about. She is one of our Diversity Prefects, organising the Culture, Heritage, and History Day, and has helped our English department to decolonise the English curriculum. She is planning to study Medicine at the University of Manchester in September. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

01:16 - why do they need to be "dECoLoNizeD"? If you want things from your cultural perspective, go live with your own culture. I wouldn't wouldn't go to India and start screeching about how India-centric India is, I'd just go back home if I wanted a perspective that more resembled my cultural background.
This is completely asinine.
The layers of ignorance within this comment are mind-blowing
Comments like this are proof why we need more of these talks. Keep it up! ✊
You are completely correct.
Meanwhile in Afghanistan
麦当劳糖尿病的士兵已经发话了 😂
We also need to decolonize science and medicine. The scientific method is patriachical, and Western medicine is too white.
Great talk 👏 the comments section show how much work still needs doing in the area. Keep up the activism!
Feminism is cancer. Sad but true.
Excellent! Your talk, Feizah was thought-provoking and much appreciated.
And there was silly ol' me thinking that English Literature was about 'English' literature and English authors such as Shakespeare, the Bronte sisters, and George Orwell. Duh! What am I like?
English is a language spoken all over the world - thus English literature can refer to any literature written in that language.
@@rashidadams8327 Don't be silly Rashid. If the 'Karma Sutra' was written in English would it then become English Literature? Or 'The Brothers Karamazov' perhaps?
@@rashidadams8327Christ, you cannot possibly be serious. This is why you don't drop out of grade school, kids.
@@rashidadams8327😂 if Dante's Comedy is written in English become English literature? Are you serious?
@@MrGraemeb2022 don’t be silly. I’m talking about books written in English, not books translated in English, as comprising part of English literature… I’m South African and my first language is English. If I write a book in my first language, it can comprise as part of English literature. Don’t mean to shock you with that reality, Graeme. Blessings to you.
God forbid we teach, learn and revere the foundations of our own culture and civilization. No, no we're not allowed to do that, they must be replaced by other cultures.
Love this! ♥️🙏🏽
Keep speaking up! We can't progress untill we decolonise education.
I want Europe decolonised...
Immigrants go home!
strange that european civilisation has been the pinnacle of creativity, growth, and human rights until this stuff started happening, what has stopped this progress?
@@Behavioral_Sink Lol love the sarcasm
what exact "progress" do you want?
This pure batshittery.
