<h2><b>Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories in the curriculum</b></h2>
<p>Aotearoa New Zealand is on a journey to ensure that all ākonga in all schools and kura learn how our histories have shaped our present-day lives.</p>
<p>From 2022, Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories will be taught in all schools and kura. This is part of a wider refresh of our national curriculum to ensure it is fit for purpose now and in the future – and supports the language, identity, culture, and wellbeing of all students in Aotearoa New Zealand.</p>
<p>A suite of resources to support the implementation of Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories in the curriculum will be available to schools and kura in Term 4, 2021 and Term 1, 2022. Information on these resources will be published on Social Sciences Online. </p>
