1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: So the government's unveiled its new school curriculum. This is

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: years one to ten, so your primary big changes more

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: focused on New Zealand history, civics, financial education. From year

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: three consent education becomes compulsory. Carl Briton is the immediate

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: past president of the Auckland Primary Principles Association with me

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: this morning, Carl, Good morning, Good morning Ryan. What do

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: you reckon?

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: Wells, very early days, we can only actually see other

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: than the English and maths. We can only actually see

10
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: the science and the physical health and educations full documents

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: at the moment. The rest of it hasn't quite been

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: uploaded yet.

13
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: So there's still a bit of a technical delay there.

14
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: You haven't seen the social sciences yet because that'll be

15
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: one of the more contentious ones, right, Okay.

16
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: I imagine, so you imagine. Sorry, but no we can't

17
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: see the full document yet.

18
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So when are you going to see the full document?

19
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: I imagine it'll be today. It was all uploaded yesterday

20
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,959
Speaker 2: and it's just the case of the system. It's half

21
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: updating and ironically last week it updated early.

22
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: So from what you from what you have seen, Kyle,

23
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: what do you think.

24
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: It looks like, there's a lot. I think that's the

25
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: immediate reaction. There's an awful particularly the science has got

26
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 2: quite a significant increase in the actual content. So the

27
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,279
Speaker 2: onus is going to be on schools and school leaders

28
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: to take a real deep dive into that end to

29
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: make sure that we do feedback. We've got a six

30
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: month window to give feedback to the ministry around what

31
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: our impressions are and what we think is doable and

32
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: what's achievable and what's relevant and so on. Is it

33
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: the onus, as I say, is really honest to make

34
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: sure we give that feedback.

35
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: Is it harder stuff or is it just more stuff?

36
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: A bit of both?

37
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, I mean it's again we've had it for

38
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: oh gosh about what twelve hours, so early early days.

39
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, the initial reaction is, it would be fair

40
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: to say, particularly again in the science, there's some things

41
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: in there that creep in quite early that otherwise we

42
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: haven't seen in the past, and then just yet to

43
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: share volume of what's in there is quite significant. And

44
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: being that that's only other than the English and mass

45
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: only two areas so far, it's clearly going to be

46
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: quite extensive in terms of what's expected in the school day.

47
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: All Right, we might forget you back once the computer's uploaded.
