Christian and Western heritage elevated in revised national curriculum

A revised national curriculum will elevate the study of Western and Christian heritage in history, remove references to the Anzac legend as “contested”, cement the importance of phonics in teaching reading and reverse changes to maths that left experts worried the subject was being dumbed down.

Sources - who spoke on the condition of the anonymity as they were not authorised to speak publicly - said the history curriculum would not water down Indigenous content but increase emphasis on Western heritage, even though the original purpose of the review was to remove content from the history curriculum.

The so-called reading wars have been raging for decades and schools in most Australian states, including Victoria, still use balanced literacy as their main method of reading instruction. NSW is emphasising phonics in its new kindergarten to year 2 curriculum. Mr Tudge will not attend Friday’s meeting as his role is being filled by Employment Minister Stuart Robert. The meeting has been delayed since late last year, but the curriculum needs to be approved in “early 2022” to begin implementing the changes.
