Consultation- Australian Curriculum: Draft Australian Curriculum: Languages Framework for Aboriginal Languages and Torres Strait Islander Languages
The overall rationale for learning Aboriginal languages and Torres Strait Islander languages in Australian schools is that they are the original languages of this country. Through learning them, all students gain access to knowledge and understanding of Australia that can only come from an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander perspective. The languages by their nature embed this perspective. Learning to use these unique languages can play an important part in the development of a strong sense of identity, pride and self-esteem for all Australian students.
Consultation closes 25 July 2013
