The new foundation curriculum policy statements and national curriculum statements for The New Zealand Curriculum, namely:
The sections which are made as national curriculum statements are the “understand, know, do” (UKD) progress outcomes (one for each phase). These set out what students are expected to learn over their time at school, including the desirable levels of knowledge, understanding, and skill to be achieved, in English and in Mathematics and Statistics.
The rest is made as foundation curriculum policy statements. These set out expectations for teaching (including what needs to be taught when and how), learning and assessment that underpin the national curriculum statements and give direction for effective English (including literacy / reading and writing) and Mathematics and Statistics (or maths, including numeracy) teaching and learning programmes.
Ko ngā tauākī herenga marautanga taketake me ngā tauākī marautanga ā-motu kua whakahoungia mō The New Zealand Curriculum, arā ko:
Ko ngā wehenga o ngā tauākī marautanga ā-motu ka noho ki ngā hua kauneke o “te mārama, te mātau, te mahi” (kia kotahi ēnei ki ia tūārere).

Ka whakatakoto ēnei i ngā kawatau mō te whakaako (tae ana ki ngā mea me whakaako, te wā, me te ara whakaako), ngā mahi ako, me ngā aromatawai e tautoko ana i ngā tauākī marautanga ā-motu, e tohutohu ana hoki i ngā hōtaka whakaako me ngā hōtaka akoako whaitake mō te English (tae ana ki te mātau reo matatini, te pānui, me te tuhituhi) mō te Mathematics, me te Statistics hoki (mō maths rānei me ngā mātau pāngarau).
The new foundation curriculum policy statements and national curriculum statements for Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, namely:
The sections which are made as national curriculum statements are Whenu, Toi Mokopuna and Tohu Ako (excluding Mā te Kaiako). These set out what students are expected to learn over their time at school, including the desirable levels of knowledge, understanding, and skill to be achieved.
