Refresh of the National Curriculum for Schooling

The national curriculum for schooling is currently being refreshed. The improvements to Te Marautanga o Aotearoa and The New Zealand Curriculum will help answer calls from educators, parents and whānau to ensure the national curriculum is clearer, more relevant and easier to use.

Since 2019, when Minister Hipkins first signalled the need for change, the Ministry has been working with people from the education sector and wider communities to understand how to make the improvements needed for students to succeed now and in the future.

The Ministry will work collaboratively with a broad and diverse range of people to co-design and implement the improvements that are required.
