It didn’t take long for the failed education system mouthpieces to start caterwauling like a cat with turps on its bum. They are starting to squawk about the changes to the maths curriculum, starting next year.
The Rotorua Principals’ Association said in a statement the curriculum change was implemented at an “alarming” pace and placed “undue strain” on schools and educators.
The principals’ statement said the government’s deadline for the changes did not adequately consider the practical challenges faced by schools, particularly in rural areas, and that they believed the demands for extensive professional development and curriculum adjustments lacked the necessary support.
“We recognise the importance of evolving our education system to address the needs of all students, however, the current timeline for these changes is unrealistic.”
