Northern Territory Department of Education Submission
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Northern Territory Department of Education Submission Inquiry into the Education of Students in Remote and Complex Environments The Northern Territory (NT) Department of Education seeks to provide a submission to the inquiry into the education of students in remote and complex environments, commissioned by the Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training. The submission aims to highlight the unique circumstances experienced by students in NT remote and very remote communities and how the department is adapting its service delivery, using innovative approaches, to meet their needs. The NT Government recognises the critical role of culture, family, community and country in delivering better outcomes, particularly for Aboriginal people. There are a number of initiatives underway that target these core factors while balancing the complexities of delivering government services in remote and very remote communities. Remote and very remote Territory context The NT is the most remote jurisdiction in Australia, with approximately 245 000 people spread across one sixth of Australia’s land mass. Over 40 per cent of the population is considered to live in remote or very remote areas. The overwhelming majority of residents living in remote communities are Aboriginal Territorians, with a much younger population on average than other parts of Australia. Unemployment is high and there are significant health issues. Fifty-four per cent of remote households and 12 per cent of very remote communities speak English in the home. Most children attending school in remote or very remote communities only speak English at school, not in their community or in their home. The transitional nature of community life, and movement of families between communities can be disruptive to a child’s education, particularly when this movement occurs across multiple jurisdictions, such as the NT, Western Australia and South Australia borders. -
Constructing the Australian School History Curriculum: Ideology, High Politics and the History Wars in the Howard Years
Chapter 2 Constructing the Australian School History Curriculum: Ideology, High Politics and the History Wars in the Howard Years Tony Taylor This chapter is a substantially revised and expanded version of a keynote address “Disputed Territory: Who Owns History in Schools?” given at the Australian National University Research School of Social Sciences’ conference “Governing by looking back” 12–14 December (2007). The relevant official government papers for the summit, including an edited transcript of proceedings, have been archived on the Department of Employment Education and Workplace Relations website at http://www.dest.gov.au/sectors/school_education/ policy_initiatives_reviews/key_issues/Australian_History/ (as at July 2009) 2.1 Background to Policy and History Curriculum In 1996, a Liberal/National conservative coalition was victorious in the Australian March general election and coalition leader, John Howard, became the nation’s 25th prime minister. Howard’s accession, bolstered by a large majority, came following his own long and difficult political apprenticeship and after 13 years of Labour federal government. Although focused throughout his next three administrations on the big political issue including race relations, immigration policy, Middle East conflict, privatisation and industrial relations, Howard still kept time for history, which, after small beginnings, began to loom increasingly large in the prime minister’s con- sciousness. This incipient public attention to history began in 1996 in his Sir Thomas Playford memorial speech where he accused “cultural dieticians in our midst” of attempting to “rewrite Australian history in the service of a partisan political cause.”1 His comments were aimed at academics and others who favoured what had already been referred to by conservatively inclined historian Geoffrey Blainey as the “black armband” view of Australia’s past. -

Family Planning 2020 was launched with a simple premise: that every woman and girl, no matter where she lives, should have the opportunity to use lifesaving, life-changing modern contraception. The leaders who gathered at the London Summit in 2012 agreed on an ambitious goal and a tight timeframe for achieving it: to reach an additional 120 million users of modern contraception in the world’s 69 lowest-income countries by 2020. That initial eight-year period is now drawing to a close. We didn’t reach 120 million, but we did bend the curve of progress upward. The FP2020 initiative has become a movement, with more than 130 governments, foundations, multilaterals, civil society organizations, youth-led organizations, and private sector partners all collaborating to advance rights- based family planning. -
