53230 (2025). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Minister of Education: Is the draft Arts curriculum aligned with the Government's National Amplify Strategy which states "Ensuring creative thinking and emerging creative skills are embedded in the national curriculum through the refresh of the Arts and Toi Ihiihi curricula."; if so, how?
Hon Erica Stanford: The draft Arts curriculum embeds creative thinking and emerging creative skills in its knowledge and practices. These encourage students to engage in artistic exploration, and develop their ability to create and interpret art. This is also my response to written parliamentary question 53232 (2025).
