As the Ministry of Education announces how it will implement changes from the reviews of the Tomorrow’s Schools model and the NCEA, it is timely that we also reflect on where Drama Education sits in these reviews.  It is time to go back to question what lies at the heart of Drama that connects with the heart of education in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
