Early use of curriculum learning areas and new core teaching requirements

22/08/23

On 21 August 2023, Minister of Education Hon Jan Tinetti announced new requirements to help lift achievement in maths and literacy. 

From 2025:

• Schools must use the new mathematics and statistics, and English learning areas from Te Mātaiaho, the refreshed NZ Curriculum, which were released in May this year.
• Māori-medium settings (rumaki and bi-lingual units) must use the new Te Reo Māori and Pāngarau areas of the redesigned Te Marautanga o Aotearoa. 

From 2026:

• All schools will use the Common Practice Model when teaching literacy, communication and maths.
• Māori-medium settings (rumaki and bilingual units) will be required to use the Ako Framework (the equivalent of the Common Practice Model).
