Enriching Curriculum Through Culture in New Zealand

Culture and education are the two moving forces of the development of any country. Educating generations, we prepare intelligent and skilled people who are going to move the country forward, towards prosperity and welfare. But transferring knowledge of a country’s heritage and culture is of equal value for reaching the aforementioned goal. That is the reason why New Zealand has attempted to combine these two in their educational curriculum on every level of education and is successfully implementing it in at least certain parts of the country. To explore the exceptional education system of Aotearoa and research how educators of heritage and culture can assist in improving the quality of learning, www.europe.study provides you with a course featuring the Aotearoa curriculum and how heritage and culture are made an integral part of it.
