新西兰0至10年级新版国家课程发布时间确定 9月9日前全面公布
【新西兰华人每日资讯】 新西兰教育部长Erica Stanford宣布，经过教育界及社会公众广泛咨询后，新版0至10年级国家课程（National Curriculum）将于2026年9月9日前全部正式发布，为学校实施新课程提供更明确的教学指引。
科学与社会科学率先发布
根据教育部公布的时间表：
8月12日：率先发布科学（Science）及社会科学（Social Sciences）课程。
8月26日：发布《Te Marautanga o Aotearoa》体系中的毛利语对应课程——Pūtaiao及Pūmanawa Tangata。
9月9日前：完成所有0至10年级课程内容及课程框架发布。
由于科学和社会科学课程将于2027年起率先实施，因此政府提前公布相关内容，让学校有更充裕时间准备。
收到近3900份意见书
教育部表示，本轮课程改革共收到超过3900份意见反馈，涵盖：
六大学习领域（Learning Areas）
七个毛利课程领域（Wāhanga Ako）
咨询方式包括：
全国公开征询意见
教师工作坊
网上研讨会（Webinars）
问卷调查
课堂试行（Classroom Trialling）
与教育专家、学科协会及学校团体持续沟通
教育部长表示，每一份意见都会经过审阅，并根据反馈对课程内容进行修订，因此调整了发布时间，以确保课程质量。
时隔近20年最大规模课程更新
Erica Stanford指出，新西兰国家课程距离上一次全面更新已接近20年。
她表示，过去课程实施过程中，各学校之间出现较大的教学差异，学生学习成果也存在明显不均衡。
此次改革的目标包括：
明确每个年级学生应掌握的知识内容；
建立更连贯、更符合年龄发展的学习框架；
提高全国教学一致性；
帮助提升所有学生学习成绩。
她强调，新课程既符合国际教育发展趋势，也更贴近新西兰学生的实际需要。
分阶段实施时间表
新版国家课程将按照以下时间逐步实施：
2027年
0—8年级：科学、社会科学、Pūtaiao、Pūmanawa Tangata
9—10年级：全部学习领域
2028年
11年级：全部课程实施
2029年
0—8年级：其余课程全面实施，包括：
健康与体育
艺术
科技
外语
以及毛利课程相关学习领域
12年级：全部课程实施
2030年
13年级：全部课程实施完成。
教育部将提供全面支持
教育部表示，今年9月发布完整课程时，还将同步推出一系列支持措施，包括：
教学资源（Classroom Resources）
教师专业培训（Professional Learning and Development）
网上说明会（Webinars）
地区交流活动（Hui）
教育部长鼓励准备充分的学校提前开始采用新版课程。
她表示，新课程专门为新西兰学生（Kiwi Kids）设计，在保持学术严谨性的同时，更具趣味性及包容性，也充分体现新西兰社会和文化特色。
11至13年级课程仍在征求意见
目前，11至13年级国家课程草案仍处于公众咨询阶段，预计将于今年稍后完成定稿。
政府同时表示，《教育与培训修正法案》（Education and Training Amendment Bill）未来将建立国家课程定期检讨机制，避免再次出现长达近20年才进行一次全面改革的情况，使课程能够根据社会发展持续更新。
编辑点评：
此次课程改革是近年来新西兰基础教育最大规模改革之一，核心方向是提高课程清晰度、减少学校之间教学差异，并提升全国学生学习成果。对于家长而言，未来孩子每个年级需要掌握的知识内容将更加明确；对于教师和学校，则意味着未来数年需要逐步完成课程转换和教学调整。
The updated National Curriculum for Years 0–10 will be released by 9 September 2026, following consultation with the education sector and the public, Education Minister Erica Stanford says.
Science and Social Sciences will be released first, on 12 August, because schools must begin using them in 2027. This will give schools more time to consider the changes and prepare for implementation.
Pūtaiao and Pūmanawa Tangata, the corresponding wāhanga ako in Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, will be released on 26 August following final quality assurance of the content in te reo Māori.
More than 3,900 submissions were received across six learning areas and seven wāhanga ako.
The Ministry invited the sector and wider New Zealand public to take part in the consultation, and ran in-person workshops, online webinars, surveys, and in class trialling to encourage participation.
It also engaged with education organisations, subject associations, education experts and sector review groups to seek further advice on the drafts.
“I want to acknowledge the time, and effort people took to engage with both the New Zealand Curriculum and Te Marautanga o Aotearoa,” Ms Stanford says.
“The Ministry has committed to reviewing every submission and has adapted the timeline to ensure feedback is considered and appropriately reflected in the final curriculum.
Ms Stanford says it has been almost 20 years since the National Curriculum was last fully updated, and it needs to reflect the changes that have taken place in New Zealand and around the world.
“There has been significant variability and inequity across the system. A strong curriculum is one of the ways we can help address these issues,” Ms Stanford says.
“The purpose of the curriculum refresh is to provide clearer guidance on what students should learn at each year level, in a way that is coherent, age-appropriate and workable for schools across Aotearoa New Zealand.”
Updating the Years 0–10 content and frameworks is part of the Government’s wider programme of curriculum, assessment and qualifications work to lift achievement for all New Zealand students.
The draft curriculum for Years 11–13 is currently in consultation and will be finalised later this year.
“Changes made through the Education and Training Amendment Bill will help avoid future major curriculum overhauls that cause disruption. We are moving toward a planned approach to curriculum review and updates, and the Ministry is working through what regular review cycles will look like for each learning area and wāhanga ako.
“When the full curriculum frameworks and Years 0–10 learning areas and wāhanga ako are released in September, the Ministry will also provide details of the supports available to help schools and kura use the updated National Curriculum successfully,” Ms Stanford says.
“This will include classroom resources, professional learning and development, and engagement opportunities such as webinars and in-person hui.
“I strongly encourage schools and kura that are ready to begin earlier to do so.
“I am looking forward to all schools and kura seeing the final curriculum for Years 0–10.
“We all want to deliver a high-quality, inclusive curriculum that supports teachers and kaiako to enable all New Zealand kids to thrive.
“We want to ensure schools and teachers have the time and resources to deliver the new curriculum. It has been written specifically for Kiwi kids — it is engaging and rigorous, and it celebrates who we are as a nation.
“Finally, I want to acknowledge the New Zealand Rural Schools Leadership Association and the Auckland Primary Principals’ Association for their advocacy and constructive engagement.”
Editors’ notes
