\n\u201cThe NSW Government will be taking a back to basics approach to the curriculum. Literacy and numeracy will remain the focus throughout a student\u2019s school experience,\u201d Ms Berejiklian said.
\n\u201cWe are investing record amounts into education and the results need to match this. We need to make a change if we want NSW to improve by global standards.\u201d
\nEducation Minister Sarah Mitchell said changes to the curriculum will ensure teachers have the time and support to teach the fundamentals, including maths, English and science.
\n\u201cI want to see all our young people leaving school confident and equipped to succeed in life,\u201d Ms Mitchell said.
\n\u201cWe want a curriculum that leaves no student behind while challenging students who are advancing faster than others.\u201d
\n\u201cWe have listened to the experts when formulating the government response to the Curriculum Review \u2013 and I am confident that the changes we will implement will ensure that NSW remains one of the best places to educate our children for decades to come.\u201d
\nWork to deliver the NSW Government\u2019s new curriculum is already underway.
