History will remain a "central part" of England's primary school curriculum, Children's Secretary Ed Balls has said.
The idea children would learn to use Twitter and social networking sites at the expense of the Victorians and the Tudors was "just complete nonsense". ...
"Children will be taught the broad chronology of major events in Britain and the wider world - from ancient civilisations through the Romans, the War of the Roses, the industrial revolution and the world wars to the modern day."
What Cameron actually said...
"We should be proud of what we have achieved as a country. Teaching people about the British Empire does not mean covering up the bad things that happened.
It means having an honest explanation about the good and the bad"
