ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Bilingual education key to the success of Indigenous students from Arnhem Land in the NT | ABC News” – below is their description.
It’s a school that offers education with a difference – blending Indigenous and western language and knowledge in its curriculum. And when a group of students from the Yirrkala and homelands schools in north-east Arnhem Land graduated year 12 last year, the “both-ways” approach was seen as integral to their success. Community-lead growth in this style of education has lead the Northern Territory government to rethink its approach to teaching in the bush.
