Mali Drops French History From School Curriculum — Students Will Learn Their Own Story

Mali redraws the classroom—and its past.

The Malian government has announced that students will no longer study French history in schools, a move officials say is aimed at strengthening national identity and shifting young people’s focus toward Mali, Africa, and local heritage. The policy is part of a broader effort to reduce the influence of colonial narratives and center African history, leaders, and cultural memory in education.
