Māori curriculum guide set for revamp
Education Minister Chris Hipkins has announced reviews of both the reo Māori learning framework and the way the national curriculum is set.
The changes come in the wake of the announcement that New Zealand history will be included in all curriculum stages from 2020.
The Education Ministry will work with educators, students, their parents and whānau, hapū, iwi, Pacific and communities to design the update process to make it easier for teachers and kaiako to update and to incorporate local material.
He says Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, which guides learning through te reo Māori, needs to be reviewed to more strongly reflect te ao Māori approaches to education used in kura.
