NZ history to be taught in all schools
Morning everyone,
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced today that by 2022 all schools and kura will be required to teach NZ's history.
It follows Time To Tell Our Story, a Waikato Times campaign to make teaching our history compulsory in schools.
First arrivals; first encounters and early colonial history; the Treaty of Waitangi and its history; colonisation of, and immigration to, Aotearoa; the New Zealand Wars; the evolving national identity of New Zealand in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; and the country's role in the Pacific are all expected to be covered.
