Primer on Area A-G/H

California’s AB 101 that mandates one ethnic studies course for the graduating high school class of 2030 has already been approved. By 2025-26 high school ES courses must be on the books.

UC BOARS (Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools) has already overwhelmingly voted to approve Area H (the general education requirement for Ethnic Studies) on two separate occasions.

As California’s leading educational institution, UC needs to support high school teachers to implement this curriculum in our schools.
