Presentations: Unpacking the NZC learning areas
5 November 2025
These presentations to unpack each of the learning areas were presented by senior members of Te Poutāhū | Curriculum Centre at the end of 2025 and covered:
- an overview of Te Mātaiaho, a knowledge-rich curriculum, capabilities, and the structure of the learning area, before going into the specific learning area
- changes to notice
- where to find more information and suggested next steps.
We are aware that in some presentations the video of Graeme Aitken didn’t play correctly, so this is linked here: What happened to Understand Know Do?
