New Zealand's new science curriculum, launching in 2027, introduces early STEM concepts and Māori knowledge but faces criticism for delayed climate change coverage and insufficient teacher training guidance.
New Zealand has released a new national science curriculum for Years 1–10 for a six-month consultation, with implementation set for 2027.
It organizes science into Physical and Biological strands, introducing key concepts like genetics and photosynthesis earlier than current standards, requiring teacher upskilling.
The curriculum includes Māori knowledge elements such as Matariki and kaitiakitanga, and features Māori and New Zealand scientists.
However, climate change is only addressed in Year 10, and the removal of the "nature of science" strand has sparked debate.
Inconsistencies in sub-strands across year levels and limited guidance on teacher training remain concerns.
El nuevo plan de estudios de ciencias de Nueva Zelanda, que se lanzará en 2027, introduce conceptos tempranos de STEM y conocimiento maorí, pero enfrenta críticas por la cobertura tardía del cambio climático y la orientación insuficiente para la capacitación de maestros.
