Today the Government released the final content of the "Aotearoa New Zealand's histories curriculum". From next year our own country's history will be a compulsory subject for students in all schools from primary up to Year 10. The curriculum was released today to give schools and teachers time to become familiar with the content and to plan how local history might be woven into their stories. To discuss the process and the content of the curriculum is Pem Bird who is a celebrated Maori educator and historian.
