Ethnocentric curriculum
A curriculum centred on white/Western perspectives, culture, history, and knowledge, marginalising or excluding perspectives and contributions from ethnic minorities.
Real World
The 2020 'Decolonise the Curriculum' campaign at universities like SOAS and UCL challenged reading lists dominated by white European scholars, demanding inclusion of writers such as Chinua Achebe and Frantz Fanon.
Exam Focus
Link the ethnocentric curriculum to Coard's concept of 'cultural exclusion' and Ball's education policy analysis for higher-band marks.
