On the controversial areas of British history and compulsory language lessons, the committee responded to fears that the citizenship test could become a form of ‘culture colonialism’. Learning history should be optional and new citizen will be encouraged, rather than compelled, to learn English. They will instead be taught how to cope with life in Britain, how to find a job and be paid the minimum age, and how to use the NHS and social service. The committee recommended that new citizens were also taught about how Britain is a “changing multicultural society”. This will include “etiquettes of everyday life, what makes for good neighbours, the changing status of women and the assumption of equality between the sexes”. There will also be a political lesson on British national institutions, including the monarch, the prime minister, parliament and the cabinet.
