Literacy & Communication and Maths Strategy
Literacy, communication, and maths are foundational for future learning for Aotearoa New Zealand’s ākonga from early learning through to the end of secondary school.
In 2022, the Government announced a 5-year Literacy & Communication and Maths Strategy to address equity in education and lift educational outcomes for all learners.
Action Plans were also released to outline the work needed to deliver the Strategy.
This work is part of a larger programme which includes refreshing 'The New Zealand Curriculum' and delivering 'Te Whāriki: Early childhood curriculum'.
