Scotland Becomes First Nation In The World To Add LGBT+ History To Curriculum

Scotland next year will become the first nation in the world to add LGBT+ history in schools. In 2018, Scottish Ministers accepted recommendations to deliver LGBT+ inclusive education to improve the learning environments of all children.

Next year, all public schools in Scotland will deliver lessons in equality and identity issues faced by the LGBT+ community.

Deputy First Minister and Education Secretary John Swinney said “Scotland is already considered one of the most progressive countries in Europe for LGBTI [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex] equality.

“I am delighted to announce we will be the first country in the world to have LGBTI inclusive education embedded within the curriculum.”

As ‘Edinburgh Live’ reports, subjects and themes will include tackling homophobia, biphobia and transphobia and raise awareness of the history of LGBT+ movements. Lessons will be taught across various age groups.
