Educating for Asia
Low levels of Asia content in secondary schools – report
Only one third of secondary school heads of department say they have included some Asia-specific topics in their teaching programmes over the past two years, says a new Asia New Zealand Foundation report.
But that figure drops to less than a quarter (21 percent) for secondary school programmes that include Asia-specific topics or projects lasting more than a single period of study.
The Asia in Secondary Schools report, launched on 16 March, was commissioned by Asia:NZ as part of its Business Education Partnership and conducted by Colmar Brunton.
