2018-10 → 2023-09 diff source
Teaching improved from a focus on personalised curriculum choice ('No Limits') and collaborative teacher practices to a stronger emphasis on culturally responsive learning experiences grounded in cultural connection, identity, and belonging. The 2023 report reflects a more intentional cultural framework (pouwhenua) guiding teaching practice, whereas the 2018 report prioritised curriculum flexibility and teacher collaboration without explicit cultural emphasis.
2018-10 → 2023-09 diff source
The curriculum focus shifted from personalisation and student choice ("No Limits" curriculum emphasizing flexibility linked to interests) in 2018 to cultural responsiveness and identity-based learning in 2023. While both reports value student-centered approaches, the 2023 report prioritizes culturally responsive experiences and alignment with community kāhui ako goals, whereas 2018 emphasized individual choice and aspirations.
