The consultation on the Draft Primary Curriculum Framework has been re-opened by the National Council for Curriculum Assessment.

The curriculum was last revised 22 years ago.

It proposes that the redeveloped curriculum for young children will focus on 5 key learning areas:Language, Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, Wellbeing, Arts Education  and Social and Environmental Education .

Derek Grant is Director of the National Council for Curriculum Assessment.
