Abstract :The Australian National Curriculum for students of schooling age ages 5 to about 18 has been in a process of design and roll-out since its inception at the end of 2008 by the then Labor Government led by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. The overhaul of Australia’s national curriculum has been a long time in the planning and is the first major program that aims to bring a national curriculum across the six Australian states and two territories. Despite a recent proposed review of the process by the incumbent Coalition government’s Education Minister, Christopher Pyne, who is hostile to the content of the curriculum, the National Curriculum is on course for roll-out for the next few years.
