One of the principles/Nga Matapono directing the New Zealand Curriculum Framework is that The New Zealand Curriculum relates learning to the wider world. For such relating to take place, students must have a basic knowledge of how that wider world operates.This series aims to deliver that knowledge in a way that:
is 100% user-friendly
is accessible to all learner levels
allows opportunity for further in-depth study of a particular topic
is contained in a workbook that can be kept by students as a personal record
will equip students with the backdrop of knowledge that links to specific curricula
encourages students to use the eight essential skills specified by the New Zealand Curriculum for all students across the whole curriculum throughout their years of schooling
provides students with a useful background for understanding international current affairs.
