The Education Minister wants standardised teaching of maths, reading and writing across the country.
The Government has announced it plans to legislate on its common practice teaching model.
Jan Tinetti says she plans to change the Education and Training Act, making those core subjects a requirement.
She says the focus is on creating a consistent curriculum.
"At the moment, the order in what somebody might be teaching in oral language - acquisition, for example -Â will be different in different schools. We want that to be exactly the same."
