New Curriculum risks
Mrs Campbell made this Official Information request to Ministry of Education
The request was refused by Ministry of Education.
From: Mrs Campbell
Kia ora,
I am requesting the following information under the Official Information Act 1982. I am seeking a narrow and centralised view of the risks associated with delivering the new national curriculum within the current timeframes.
Please provide:
1. The most recent centralised risk register or consolidated risk summary held by the Ministry relating to the rollout of the new national curriculum (including the Common Practice Model), created or updated within the last six months.
I am specifically seeking the Ministry’s overall, programme-level view of risks, rather than subject‑specific or workstream‑specific registers asked for in my previous request that was refused for substantial collation.
2. Any risk ratings, descriptions, or mitigation summaries within that centralised view that relate to the impact on student learning or attainment, particularly for students participating in the first two years of the new curriculum.
3. Any briefing or summary provided to the Minister of Education in the last six months
that includes the current overall risk status of the curriculum rollout.
To avoid unnecessary withholding, I am requesting only the factual components of such documents (e.g., risk descriptions, ratings, mitigations, and implementation status), not free and frank opinions or policy options.
If parts of documents must be withheld, please provide the remainder.
Ngā mihi,
Mrs Campbell
