George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four” and Charles Dickens’ “Great Expectations” have been removed from the high school English curriculum in New South Wales (NSW).

A list of texts for the Higher School Certificate (HSC) in 2027 and 2028, seen by The Epoch Times, does not include these historical texts. However, they were on the list for 2019 to 2025, and extended to 2026.
