Residents are still being asked for their views on the teaching of ethnic history and culture in Island schools.

Government is looking to update school curriculums to help children learn more about the contributions and achievements of those from ethnic and minority back grounds and earlier this month launched a consultation asking for people's thoughts on the subject.

Officials said at the time interest in ethnicity has grown in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests across the world and a report into the backgrounds of those at higher risk from Covid-19.

The deadline for responses to the consultation is next Monday (January 4) - anyone wanting to get involved is asked to do so by visiting the online government consultation hub before that date.
