Curriculum

Most people learn about history at school or university. The History Council of NSW supports a strong history curriculum in schools. We also maintain a watching brief on history at the tertiary level. The commitment of universities to the teaching of history is important in developing in depth knowledge of history, as well as new and innovative research.

The National History Curriculum
The History Council of NSW strongly supports the introduction of a national history curriculum provided it is written in consultation with history teachers and provides a fair and balanced view of history. Detailed information about the National History Curriculum can be found at the History Teacher's Association of NSW. An Executive Summary of the Draft National History Curriculum can be found in the right hand column.
