This unit begins by providing students with an historical context of education methods practiced by Indigenous Australians prior to European occupancy. It also examines how Western education practices and policies have influenced the lives of Indigenous Australians since colonisation. The exclusion of Indigenous Australians from various public schools systems is explored in depth. -- Course Website
