History teacher pleased with curriculum changes

From Morning Report, 8:44 am on 4 February 2021

School students will be made to learn about the early histories of their region as part of a new history curriculum.

To be rolled out next year, the scheme will also see students up to year 10 taught about Maori history, patterns of migration, the Treaty of Waitangi, and the New Zealand wars.

It's a change that's being welcomed by the chair of the History Teacher's Association, Graeme Ball.
