Concerns with new maths curriculum w/ the University of Auckland's Lisa Darragh: 29 October, 2025
Description
The Ministry of Education has recently revealed their new draft maths curriculum for years 0 - 10, making this new curriculum the third in three years.
In announcing the move, Education Minister, Erica Stanford, says the new curriculum is another step forward for the country producing a world-leading system for all students.
However, the new curriculum has faced criticism, such as around the amount of time educators are expected to have implemented the new curriculum.
As a result, multiple open letters have been sent to the government. In an open letter from 44 maths education experts yesterday, they say the changes “seem more political than educational”.
News and Editorial Director Joel spoke to Lisa Darragh, a Senior Curriculum and Pedagogy Researcher at the University of Auckland, about this new curriculum and what her thoughts are on it.
