What NZ history should be taught in schools?

From Afternoons, 3:17 pm on 26 September 2019

The government has announced the introduction of compulsory NZ history lessons in our schools. In a previous talk on Afternoons,  Dr Grant Morris from Victoria University discussed the pros and cons of compulsory history, but now it is time to look at the content of what should be taught.

The government has provided some general subject areas, but Grant's been compiling his wish-list.
