Purkarninthi Speak: What is the Future of Aboriginal Education?

Описание: Presented by The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre and the Office of the Pro Vice Chancellor: Aboriginal Leadership and Strategy, UniSA, this panel discussion is an opportunity to hear about the future of Aboriginal Education, local and national issues of significance, and the extensive work of the Panellists to inform public knowledge and awareness.

Our panel of experts discuss the need for a two-way education system that recognises and respects the cultures, languages and identities of Aboriginal children and young people, as set out in Article 14 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Aboriginal Peoples.

Local Aboriginal Elders, who have been at the forefront of the fight for the right to be educated, and have worked in the education system over the last 50 years, share their thoughts and hopes for the younger generations of Aboriginal children and youth, particularly those who are being left behind. Their fight now is for a fair and equitable education process that provides a rounded education for all young people, whatever their capability and diversity.

Panellists will include members of Purkarninthi, UniSA Elders in Residence, Professor Lester-Irabinna Rigney AM and Professor Irene Watson as Moderator.
