The Education Minister's hoping the new curriculum will close the education equity gap. 

Erica Stanford has unveiled proposed changes to content for Years 1-10 on top of the English and Maths refresh announced earlier. 

The key changes include financial education, and compulsory consent education.

Stanford told Mike Hosking that no matter where a child goes to school, they will learn the same thing. 

She says a consistent curriculum means no matter where or what family kids are from, they get the same knowledge they need to be successful.
