WHAT SHOULD THE GOALS OF EDUCATION BE?
2015-12-14 | Victoria
N.B. CONSULTATION ENDS 14 DECEMBER
Our collective challenge is to convince those who control budgets, curriculum design and delivery that music nurtures the essence of what it is to be human. It is a right, not a privilege. (Mary Cornish, MENZA Magazine, July 2015)
The Ministry of Education is consulting about updating the Education Act 1989. They want to know your views about the proposals presented in the discussion document. MENZA encourages all those interested in Music Education and the Arts to make a submission – particularly for the first section of WHAT SHOULD THE GOALS FOR EDUCTION BE? Making a submission is easy – go to https://consultation.education.govt.nz/education/update-of-the-education-act-1989/consultation
