of Aotearoa New Zealand
People curious about how the new history curriculum will be rolled out in schools from next year can hear details from one of its authors this weekend.
Graeme Ball, who chairs the New Zealand History Teachers’ Association, is also due to outline how colonisation happened in Aotearoa, in talks on Saturday arranged by The Nelson Institute.
From 2023, Te Takanga o Te Wā and Atearoa New Zealand’s histories will be compulsory for students up to year 10 (14 years old).
Schools will be expected to teach about Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the ongoing development of New Zealand’s national identity through immigration, and colonialism in the Pacific, including New Zealand’s role in colonisation through control of nations such as Sāmoa.
