When looking at bias within the education system, you must consider previous literature specifications, such as the anthology 'Poems from Other Cultures' within the AQA exam board. Through conducting my research on Western literature being so dominant in the education system, I decided to see if the exam board had a topic based on texts or poems from many cultures to give students a view into how other people live and their upbringings.
In order to research this fairly, however, I plan to email AQA and get some information from them based on this topic, as to why they stopped teaching this within the specification and who decides what texts are put in the canon to be taught within schools.
