The draft secondary school English curriculum is ringing alarm bells for some teachers, with no reference to Te Mātaiaho – the framework that underpins every other curriculum area.
Teachers told RNZ the omission of Te Mātaiaho in the document published this week was bizarre, and they were worried it was part of a move to sideline the Treaty of Waitangi, which until recently had been a critical part of Te Mātaiaho.
This is the English curriculum.
Jepsen said the change was “educational violence” and it was not happening in isolation
Educational violence. How hysterical.
Abercrombie said curriculum areas grounded in the partnership principles of the treaty would always have better outcomes for students.
I’d love to see the peer reviewed evidence for that assertion.

No wonder our educational standards are falling with teachers like this are in charge. What partnership is he talking about? Their own interpretation of the TOW? What has it got to do with teaching English (or maths for that matter)? Just state sanctioned indoctrination
Jepsen and Abercrombie are Communists and need to be sacked.
