Subject: Official Information request - NZ Maths

Dear Ministry of Education,

Why has the NZ Maths been discontinued?

 

This website contained one of THE most comprehensive collections of
resources for students and teachers I have ever used, with a user friendly
layout that allowed for easy navigation.

It has been replaced with this:

[9]https://newzealandcurriculum.tahurangi.e...

 

Which I can only describe as a jumbled mess of a website that does not
contain the comprehensive content that was on NZ (far from it). It is also
virtually impossible to navigate, with no options to filter easily by
level, topic, unit etc.

 

1. How much money has been wasted on this 'project'?

2. Who signed off on the decision to get rid of NZ maths when not only was
it an excellent resource for NZ teachers, it was used by teachers from
overseas (Australia and Ireland for example).

3.Why replace a top class website with something that resembles a webpage
created by someone starting out in website design?

4.Can this disaster please be reversed?

 

Many thanks,

Louise Quinn.
