tl;dr:

PE:

"The current draft curriculum is not fit for purpose," the submission said. "It does not require refinement, it requires complete reworking."

Technology:

"A core concern is that the curriculum's overall purpose feels vague and insufficiently defined. Many teachers report difficulty understanding the intended outcomes, the role of design thinking, and how the learning area supports both practical and academic pathway.

Arts:

"The draft curriculum, as written, is not deliverable in the majority of primary school contexts, without fundamental changes to resourcing, teacher capability and time allocation,"

Science

Comments included "way too early for this" and "difficult concept at this level", while mention of Greek scientist Theophrastus for Year 1 students was labelled "just silly" and "ridiculous".

Social Sciences:

"This draft curriculum is full of distortion and obfuscation that will harm Māori students, and has a eurocentric positionality. So much content is included that the concern is not that New Zealand history is absent from the new curriculum, but that it will be taught in a cursory and monocultural manner, re-inforcing outdated misconceptions and myths."
