Parents will know more about what their children are learning at school and will have the tools to help them learn at home through new updates to the Parent Portal.
Developed by the Ministry of Education, the Parent Portal is a digital resource for Years 0 to 10. The interactive resource allows parents to see what their child will learn under the proposed new curriculum, across every year level.
“The refreshed curriculum is designed to ensure children are learning the fundamentals they need, and it gives clarity to teachers on what to focus on in the classroom,” Education Minister Erica Stanford says.
“We’re making sure there’s clarity at home, too.”
The first resource is a curriculum-aligned online maths practice tool for children in Years 3 to 8. It covers basic facts, fractions, rounding, working with money, place value, counting patterns, square numbers, and word problems. There will be further content uploaded this month.
“Parents want their children to achieve to the best of their abilities at school, and we’re providing the information and resources they need to be involved in their child’s learning.
“Our education reforms are putting educational achievement at the heart of learning, making sure all Kiwi kids get the chance to unlock their potential and thrive.”
The Parent Portal is available at: www.education.govt.nz/parents-and-caregivers/schools-year-0-13/parent-portal
Consultation is currently open for feedback on the Year 0-10 draft learning areas.
