Children & Young People Voices in the NZ Curriculum Refresh
‘Mai World: Participation and Engagement’ team at the Office of the Children’s Commissioner have recently started working alongside the Ministry of Education to ensure the voices of children and young people are at the centre of Te Mātaiaho New Zealand Curriculum refresh, currently taking place until 2025. Access and participation in inclusive and equitable education is a crucial priority for the Children’s Commissioner, Judge Francis Eivers (Ngāti Maniapoto, Waikato).
The Mai World team are reaching out to schools, kura, organisations and communities to nominate young people to be part of the Youth Voices Group in 2023. This group will champion how the voices of children and young people are heard across the country. The 'Key Information' document provides detail around the project, including the workload, compensation and key dates.
Nominations close 21 November 2022 – submit this form to educationvoices@occ.org.nz OR do it online here.
