'The New Zealand Curriculum' is being refreshed to make sure every child experiences success in their learning, and that their progress and achievement is responded to and celebrated.

To create this future, the goals for 'The New Zealand Curriculum' refresh and for teaching and learning are to:

1. Honour our mutual obligations to and through Te Tiriti o Waitangi
2. Create curriculum that is inclusive so that all ākonga see themselves, and succeed in their learning
3. Make sure 'The New Zealand Curriculum' is clear about the learning that matters
4. Make sure 'The New Zealand Curriculum' is easy to use for teachers.

The refresh will be phased from now until the end of 2025, to help make it more manageable for schools to implement the refreshed curriculum. Schools, ākonga and whānau will be supported through the change.

Due to the current context of COVID-19 there have been updates to the refresh timeline. Find out more about the timeline reset and what it means for the refresh of 'The New Zealand Curriculum' at Schools, kura and early learning given space to build back from COVID-19 - beehive.govt.nz
