Curriculum Stocktake Report to Minister of Education, Sept 2002

This is a report from the Ministry of Education to the Minister and Associate Minister of Education. IT IS NOT A STATEMENT OF GOVERNMENT POLICY. A Curriculum Stocktake project paper was considered by Cabinet early in 2003. The curriculum stocktake report analyses the recent New Zealand curriculum reform experience in terms of: the appropriateness of the New Zealand curriculum and te marautanga o Aotearoa in the current educational, social and economic climate; the purposes of these curricula; and the quality of these curricula in contributing to improved student outcomes, meeting the expectations of a range of stakeholders and against comparable international curricula.
