Jerry A. Coyne, Emeritus Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Chicago, this week published an article headed Proposed New Zealand school curriculum and some strong pushback from four academics.
Not for the first time, he has commented on the reform of New Zealand’s curriculum for secondary schools.
Right now – he points out – the New Zealand Government’s Ministry of Education has begun rolling out “proposals,” documents that outline the curriculum area by area.
The Ministry is soliciting comments from the public on these areas, with the intention of implementing a final curriculum by 2026.
