Tēnā koutou katoa,

 

 

 

Phase 5 History | Te Takanga o te Wā Y11-13 draft released for consultation

 

Today the Ministry of Education released the draft History | Te Takanga o te Wā

curriculum. This is now open for consultation from 21 August 2026 - 20 September 2026.

 

 

It will take time to unpack and understand this curriculum subject structure, teaching sequence and the prescribed historical contexts included as depth studies at each year level.

 

NZHTA will be in touch soon with more information for the consultation on this draft curriculum. There will be a lot of questions.
