Students are learning more about our history but less about our place in the world.  

An Education Review Office report finds schools have been working hard to implement the new Aotearoa Histories Curriculum.  

It's being taught in three quarters of all schools up to and including Year 10, but to varying degrees.  

Education Evaluation Centre Head Ruth Shinoda says it takes up a lot of teachers' time making their own teaching resources.  

She told Mike Hosking that more off-the-shelf content would help support schools to teach the full range of the curriculum.  

Shinoda says those resources could help teachers have more time to teach other social sciences too, like geography and economics.
