The policy of Welsh History education in schools is part of the Curriculum for Wales (2022-present) as determined by the Welsh Government. Teaching of Welsh history and ethnic minority history was introduced as part of this new curriculum from September 2022. In 21st century curricula 2008 Curriculum The Curriculum 2008 is used in schools in Wales until it is fully replaced by the Curriculum for Wales which was implemented from 2022. Pupils aged 7–14 are taught according to the Curriculum Cymreig including a teaching of the cultural, economic, environmental, historical and linguistic characteristics of Wales. Pupils aged 14–19 are taught via the Wales, Europe and the World which includes the political, social, economic and cultural aspects of Wales and as part of the world. 2022 Curriculum In 2012, the Welsh government set up a task group headed by historian Elin Jones to review of history, Welsh history and the Curriculum Cymreig and minister Leighton Andrews saying that there had been significant increase in interest in the history of Wales over the preceding decade. This followed ACCAC’s guidance on ‘Developing the Curriculum Cymreig’ in 2003. In 2013 “The Cwricwlwm Cymreig, history and the story of Wales report” was published. In 2015 Professor Graham Donaldson built on this report in devloping a Cwricwlwm Cymreig that should have six Areas of Learning and Experience (AoLE) and tht each AoLE should have a Welsh dimension and an international perspective. All schools were set to have access to the new Curriculum for Wales from 2020 with the goal of implementation in September 2022, per the cooperation agreement in the Senedd between the Welsh Labour Government and Plaid Cymru. Teaching of Welsh history In 2015, Welsh historian Elin Jones said that Welsh pupils were "deprived" of not being taught history from a Welsh perspective, and that there should be a far bigger emphasis on Welsh history, with there being "very little evidence" of this. She added that nothing had improved since her 2013 report for the Welsh government. Dr Jones added, "I did a soft consultation by going to public libraries and talking to the public when I was preparing my report and very many people said to me that their education had robbed them of the opportunity to learn about their own country. And that's a sad thing to learn." In 2015, 10-15% of History GCSE was about Wales and WJEC CEO Gareth Pierce added
