Indigenous Schooling in the 21st Century and the Digital Inclusion Agenda
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for indigenous education in the 21st century. It notes that while indigenous schooling has made progress in closing the gap, more work is needed to develop curriculum that addresses modern issues like climate change, food and water shortages, and digital literacy. The presentation proposes 10 big questions that could form the basis for a modernized indigenous curriculum focusing on these types of challenges. It also highlights the need to boost indigenous participation in STEM fields to develop leadership able to guide communities through complex problems.

Editor's Notes
- #6 Interview with Professor John Halsey, Sidney Myer Chair of Rural Education and Communities, Flinders University who recently visited Naracoorte to get ideas on what rural people want for their communities. He says he and his staff collected information from Karoonda, Kadina, Kimba, Loxton and Burra. He says they also received information from people at the Naracoorte show. Halsey says people want access to good education and young people need to be retained for future generations. Richardson mentions Lucindale school which keeps the local community alive. Rural and remote communities are under immense pressure from declining population and the "double whammy" of deteriorating services that are rising in cost. At the same time, the role of those communities in producing food, supplying energy and resources, managing water and the environment has never been more important. Halsey refers to the sense that country people feel, that they are not being heard or understood by city-centric Government leaders, in terms of their needs. He says survey results will be put into a report and sent to Government and key agencies. He refers to the closure of rural hospitals and compares funds spent on the Adelaide Oval and city tram lines. Halsey says this sends a message that rural communities are not as important as cities. He mentions Monsignor Cappo who works with the disadvantaged in the city and suggests rural people need to be represented similarly.

- #14 Within the curriculum of each state & territory, as well as with the development of a National Curriculum, there are numerous subject [learning] areas. A number of these are considered Key/Core Subject Areas. These are common in all jurisdictions, with additional subject/learning areas also common, though with variation depending on individual state or territory emphases. The same applies to the National Curriculum process, where there is an initial development of core subject/learning areas. While areas may be common, titles for these vary between states & territories. This is more common with areas other than English [Language], Mathematics and Science. It is even more common with sub-areas within these, especially in secondary years, where individual subjects occur more than areas, as at the Primary level.
