Require schools to provide balanced cultural education by including content in the curriculum on national days (like St George’s and St Patrick’s Day) and religious celebrations such as Eid and Diwali. This would help ensure all pupils learn about a wide range of traditions fairly and equally.

This petition calls for all schools to be required to provide a balanced cultural education by teaching students about both national day celebrations, such as St George’s Day and St Patrick’s Day, alongside important religious and cultural events like Eid and Diwali. It aims to ensure all pupils receive a fair and inclusive understanding of different traditions, promoting respect, awareness, and unity while also valuing the heritage and identity of the UK.
