NZ Maths
Louise Quinn made this Official Information request to Ministry of Education
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Louise Quinn to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Louise Quinn
Dear Ministry of Education,
Why has the NZ Maths been discontinued?
This website contained one of THE most comprehensive collections of resources for students and teachers I have ever used, with a user friendly layout that allowed for easy navigation.
It has been replaced with this:
https://newzealandcurriculum.tahurangi.e...
Which I can only describe as a jumbled mess of a website that does not contain the comprehensive content that was on NZ (far from it). It is also virtually impossible to navigate, with no options to filter easily by level, topic, unit etc.
1. How much money has been wasted on this 'project'?
2. Who signed off on the decision to get rid of NZ maths when not only was it an excellent resource for NZ teachers, it was used by teachers from overseas (Australia and Ireland for example).
3.Why replace a top class website with something that resembles a webpage created by someone starting out in website design?
4.Can this disaster please be reversed?
Many thanks,
Louise Quinn.
