As far as I know, teaching the Holocaust is not mandatory anywhere in the United Kingdom.
No. The Holocaust is today part of every child's formal education in England. In England, by law children are to be taught about the Holocaust as part of the Key Stage 3 History curriculum. This usually occurs in Year 9 (age 13-14). While academy schools do not have to follow this syllabus, it is assumed that they will deliver Holocaust education as part of a "balanced and broadly based" curriculum. Similarly, although independent schools are not obliged to deliver the National Curriculum, many in fact do. The Holocaust is not formally part of the national curriculum in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. However, it is widely taught and there is no evidence that it has been removed from textbooks.
1972, along with the rest of Australia excluding Victoria and New South Wales, where they were already made mandatory in 1970 and 1971 respectively.

Why do you think teaching about the Holocaust is hypocritical?

probably not because that's pretty violent for parents to be teaching their children.
In whatever field you pursue, you must be holding a Ph.D. to your name and the mandatory teaching credentials that the career naturally requires. Upon reaching this stage, you will apply for a teaching position at the college of your choice.

There are a very few schools in the Western world that have removed the Holocaust from their curriculum, and there are news reports about individual teachers that won't teach it (especially in the UK), either because they are uncomfortable or because they feel pressured. However, the vast majority of schools in the U.S. and other Western countries have strong Holocaust curriculums. I know that some Southern U.S. communities are being pressured to back away from teaching about racism, slavery and subjects uncomfortable to some Christians like the Crusades, but these developments are being fought by educators. Of course, schools in countries run by Holocaust deniers aren't teaching about the Holocaust, but they are getting a skewed view of most of history, not just the Holocaust.
