Minister announces delay of classroom implementation of Australian curriculum
The NSW Education Minister, the Hon. Adrian Piccoli, announced today that the implementation of the Australian curriculum in NSW will be delayed with schools not required to teach the new K -10 English, Mathematics, Science and History syllabuses until 2014.
Mr Piccoli said that the new timeframe will allow sufficient time for the syllabuses to be finalised, and for teachers to prepare for implementation.
All four K-10 syllabuses are currently in draft form and the Board of Studies schedule of consultations will not be affected by the announcement.
For more information, read the Minister's media release and the Board President’s fax to school Principals.
