Meeting the needs of all learners
The Government's 3-year Education Work Programme aims to develop an education system that meets the needs of 21st-century learners, from early learning through to tertiary education and beyond.
The programme is made up of:
- big reviews of parts of the education system
- medium-term strategies to map out priorities and actions over the next 3 or more years, and
- some key initiatives for things to get underway now.
