Tçnâ koutou,

 

Under the Official Information Act 1982, I request copies of any final or
substantive advice, analysis, benchmarking material, research summaries,
implementation papers, curriculum progression mapping documents,
consultancy reports, or briefings prepared or relied upon by the Ministry
of Education since 1 January 2023 regarding changes to the sequencing,
progression, or placement of mathematics and English curriculum content
within the refreshed New Zealand Curriculum.

 

This includes documents relating to:

 

• the work described by the Ministry as ensuring “strong alignment and a
well-sequenced progression across the entire learning pathway”;

 

• any benchmarking or comparative work undertaken to compare the refreshed
curriculum with international education systems;

 

• any work undertaken by Learning First or other external consultants
relating to curriculum sequencing, progression, knowledge placement, or
curriculum coherence;

 

• any analysis of the impacts of revised sequencing or progression
expectations on learners performing below expected curriculum levels;

 

• any implementation, transition, pacing, or sector readiness risks
identified in relation to revised curriculum sequencing or progression
changes;

 

• any curriculum progression mapping, alignment work, or comparative
analysis between the previous and refreshed curriculum structures for
Years 0–10.

 

This request is limited to substantive or final material relied upon for
decision-making or implementation purposes and does not include routine
administrative correspondence, drafting material, or duplicate copies of
publicly available consultation summaries.

 

Ronald
