1/200 S2E95 - Class(room) Politics

We’re joined by special guest Bevan Holloway to discuss his report on the Ministerial Advisory Group hijacking review processes to drastically change the curriculum while ignoring expert advice, process and institutional norms. We discuss the issues, the details and the implications alongside the broader rightwing strategy to subvert democracy in favour of ideologues. bevanholloway.com/2024/08/28/how-a-special-interest-group-took-over-the-refresh-of-the-new-zealand-curriculum/This episode’s co-hostsKyle, Stephanie, BevanTimestamps0:00 Introductions1:43 The Curriculum Review7:15 A Brief Rundown16:36 How Does This Happen With the Ministry21:25 Removal of Experts23:31 Killing Ideology 28:45 Curriculum vs Programme 32:38 Picking Up the Pieces of Coverage37:06 AI in the Classrooms39:28 Cubical Farming43:44 How Can We Pushback49:59 ClosingsIntro/Outro by The Prophet MotiveSupport us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200
