Australian teachers shouldn’t be afraid to teach Indigenous Knowledge

Education does not just impart information; it shapes who we are and who we might be.

Since 2010, the Australian Curriculum has included an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures cross-curriculum priority across all learning areas. As a result, beginning in every classroom, education in Indigenous Knowledge systems, histories and cultures has the potential to be a nation-building exercise.

Beyond bricks and mortar, documents like the Australian Curriculum inform institutions that shape our society.
