Copies of The New Zealand Curriculum
The new curriculum was launched on 6 November 2007 following one of the most comprehensive consultation processes undertaken by the Ministry of Education.
The challenge now is to build on this framework, offering our young people the most effective and engaging teaching possible and supporting them to achieve to the highest of standards.
For all enquiries and orders for the new curriculum (print version), please phone Education Customer Services on 0800 660 662.
