N2 - Within the Education Revolution lies another, thus far quieter revolution that attempts to raise the profile and status of First Peoples' culture in the Australian cultural complex. This book addresses the coalface of this revolution where two cultures meet; in the classroom, the school, the community, and in both state and national education curricula. Contributors are mostly experienced Indigenous practitioners drawn from academia, the teaching profession and the community. They put the spotlight on policies and processes that serve to either facilitate an informed, respectful relationship in education, or act to reinforce cultural inequity and inequality. Policy implications that can be liberating or devastating for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in Australian school systems are exposed and explored. Each practitioner articulates specific problems such as school retention, literacy and numeracy, self-concept and identity, and offers practical strategies for teachers, policy-makers, academics and administrators.
