PUSH TO TEACH NEW ZEALAND HISTORY IN SCHOOLS BECOMES MORE DESPERATENew Zealand history is a story full of blood and betrayal - but even teachers in our state schools admit they don't know enough.

"We were discussing that the early settlers, the Māori people, were actually scientists and they were mathematical and the way we perceive the intelligence they had is completely different to what the reality is," Gilmore said. "There are actually three versions of the Treaty - the English version, the Māori version, then the Māori version translated into English, and they're quite different. So what everyone thought they'd signed wasn't actually the same," Cormack says...... www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2019/04/push-to-teach-new-zealand-history-in-schools-becomes-more-desperate.html
