How did New Zealand come to adopt a national curriculum for its primary schools? This book helps us to answer that question.
It describes educational developments from the time of the first European settlements in this country until the introduction of a national system of primary education in 1877.
Succinctly, yet with precise and vivid detail, Mr Ewing has created a picture of the curriculum and methods used in primary schools during those formative years immediately prior to the introduction of the national 'standards of instruction' that have exercised so profound an influence upon New Zealand schools ever since.
