It is important for our children and future generations to know about what had happened to our families in the past. Tell them what happened, how, when, why they where taken away from thier families. This might encourage our kids to strive harder in life appreciate the world they are living and be greatful for the suffering and pain they had went through | | | | S Aungle | Signed on: Thu 14 Feb 2008 22:24:30 EST
I was born in Australia and am nearly thirty and I do not even know how old the Stolen Generation are. This is of vital importance to Australian children. I have seen more real life evidence of the pains and abuses suffered by the Indigenous peoples and families than I have been informed of in my primary and high school education. Education needs to go beyond the surface to dig out all that pain. I'm researching Stolen Generation now to inform myself - I've wanted to know this for a few years and these educational inclusions should be like mandatory. | | | | Jan Wright | Signed on: Wed 13 Feb 2008 13:49:06 EST
It is only through education that real understanding can be obtained, and that the reasons and implications of the 13th February Apology to the Stolen Generation can heal and give hope for all Australians in the future. | | | | Alison Linn | Signed on: Tue 12 Feb 2008 15:20:51 EST

This is a vital part of our history and many teachers I know and have spoken with do not have enough information to have an informed opinion. Their racist views are very disturbing. | | | | Gen Blades | Signed on: Tue 12 Feb 2008 12:42:46 EST
Training of this nature would have to underpin any educational program that addresses these issues and finally have them heard and visible in a way that is handled with sensitivity and with informed confidence. | | | | Amiee-Jade Pember | Signed on: Thu 07 Feb 2008 17:00:50 EST

I see this recommendation as essential in helping our students to look beyond what lies behind the frenzy of mainly negative media attention when it comes to our First nation’s people. Let our children come to know this history, to know what happened, to understand….Many of our teachers feel inadequate and often lack the knowledge of this untold part of our history. It is ignored in school curriculum! Please provide the in-services to primary and secondary teachers Education is the key to knowledge and understanding and to also the key to breaking the cycle of racism | | | | Rebecca Sanders | Signed on: Sun 03 Feb 2008 13:49:36 EST
Education is the key to solving the issues facing Indigenous Australian's today. That is, education of non-indigenous Australian's about Indigenous history, culture and the effects of past government policies. Let's get rid of the ignorance which has clouded so many for so long. | | |
