5700 (2026). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister of Education: How, if at all, is Māori knowledge embedded structurally into the Ministry of Education refreshed curriculum?

Hon Erica Stanford: Māori knowledge is embedded within learning areas of the New Zealand Curriculum in ways that are practical, age-appropriate, and aligned with clear knowledge progressions. I encourage the Member to read the curriculum for herself to learn more.
