Curriculum changes sound good to me

Radio NZ reports:

The draft secondary school English curriculum is ringing alarm bells for some teachers, with no reference to Te Mātaiaho – the framework that underpins every other curriculum area.

Teachers told RNZ the omission of Te Mātaiaho in the document published this week was bizarre, and they were worried it was part of a move to sideline the Treaty of Waitangi, which until recently had been a critical part of Te Mātaiaho.

This is the English curriculum.

Jepsen said the change was “educational violence” and it was not happening in isolation

Educational violence. How hysterical.

Abercrombie said curriculum areas grounded in the partnership principles of the treaty would always have better outcomes for students.

I’d love to see the peer reviewed evidence for that assertion.
