Yeah, public education is determined by a set state curriculum. But in recent years the educational system has been so fiddled around with by politicians, who have really pushed for a Ticking Boxes style education system which is designed to show how well every student is doing so that politicians can say 'look! The system is working! everybody passes!'

And of course the problem with ticking boxes style education is that nobody actually gets educated. And teachers spend ever more of their time doing paperwork.

They're supposed to study basic things though. Like everybody in UK schools does like, The Vikings and The Romans. And I think WW1 is still on the syllabus.

Honestly I thought WW2 was on the curriculum still as well, but according to that study, apparently not.
