Senior secondary school students will be able to learn about and use generative artificial intelligence in a range of subjects.

The Government's unveiled a new list of subjects as part of a refresh of the national curriculum from 2028.

It places greater emphasis on STEM subjects and adds civics, politics and philosophy, and media and journalism.

Education Minister Erica Stanford says other countries have offered STEM-based classes to their students, but Kiwi learners aren't at the right level yet.

"Now that we've got this whole reform programme going, we can actually look to the future and go - what does that look like?"
