Have your say - Public Consultation
The NSW Government NESA undertakes public consultation for the new NSW curriculum. NESA conducts ‘Have your say’ public consultation periods for new draft syllabuses. The consultation informs the development of the final syllabuses and improves student learning outcomes.
Involvement in the public consultation for the NSW Curriculum Reform ensures the voices of teachers, schools, systems, parents and carers, professional organisations and industry experts is heard by the NSW Government NESA. All consultation feedback is considered by NESA.
Access the relevant draft syllabus, survey previews and links to the relevant 'Have your say' survey on the NSW Government website.
