NEW ZEALAND HISTORY WILL BE TAUGHT IN EVERY SCHOOL BY 2022, GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES
In a statement announcing the education initiative, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said current rules leave too much to chance regarding whether Aotearoa's history is taught.
Ms Ardern says New Zealanders have been saying they want to know more about the country's history and identity.
"It makes sense for the National Curriculum to make
clear the expectation that our history is part of the local curriculum and marau ā kura in every school and kura."
The New Zealand history curriculum is expected to include:
- The Arrival of Māori
- First encounters and early colonial history
- Te Tiriti o Waitangi / Treaty of Waitangi.
- Colonisation, immigration, the New
Zealand Wars.
- Evolving national identity.
- New Zealand’s role in the Pacific
- Evolution of national identity.....
