Abstract

The National Aboriginal Education Committee believes that it is specifically within the education system itself that Aborigines can make an initial contribution, both to their own people and to non-indigenous Australian people, a contribution which, as time goes on, will have an impact of immense importance on the whole of Australian society.

This impact will be brought about through a significant, and immediate, increase in entry into teacher training programs for indigenous Australians.
