Bilingual Education in Schools in Aboriginal Communities in the Northern Territory

Abstract

In the first issue of The Aboriginal Child at School extracts from the Report were presented to show the rationale of the bilingual education program and the major recommended model, showing progression in the use in the school of both the Aboriginal and the English languages.

The extracts below show the Advisory Group’s conception of the teaching team, and of the separate but complementary roles of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal teaching members.
