NSW will review its school curriculum from kindergarten to year 12 to “declutter” the current system. 
David Gonski’s findings in the latest April education report will be applied to the review, and answered with real actions. 

“This is a once in a generation chance to examine, declutter and improve the NSW curriculum to make it simpler to understand and to teach,” NSW Education Minister, Rob Stokes said. 

Greater focus on literacy and numeracy will be applied in early education. 

High School curriculum will be reformed with new learning skills needed for the 21st century job market. 
In addition, an inquiry into the teaching and assessment of year 11 and 12 students will also be made. 

“The world has changed rapidly since the last comprehensive review in 1989 and we must ensure the curriculum is as strong as it can be,” NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said.

“We want to ensure our students have every opportunity with the skills needed for the jobs of the future,” she added.  

This includes not only putting a greater focus in English, Math and Science, but also attending to other subjects such as driver safety and online security. 

Moreover, the review will also look at classroom technologies and teaching methods, to best support students to develop skills in the modern world. 

Further, Australian literature, scientific discoveries and key historical events will also take part in the review.
