The Australian Curriculum: public consultation opens
The Foundation to Year 10 Australian Curriculum is our national curriculum which outlines the core content that all young people should be taught regardless of where they live in Australia.
The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) reviews the curriculum every six years and has consulted with 360 practising teachers and curriculum specialists to develop the proposed changes.
There are proposed changes across the whole of the curriculum including all eight learning areas with the aim of making the content clearer and better organised. It also more concise, more specific and less cluttered.
The proposals are not final but are now open to public consultation and feedback until 8 July. The feedback will be used to develop final revisions, which will be provided to federal, state and territory education ministers for their consideration.
