Education for Queensland Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders

Abstract

(One of the recommendations of the Schools Commission Aboriginal Consultative Group was that each department set up a Consultative Committee. Various of the State Departments have moved in this direction. Queensland was the first state to establish such a committee, and that committee has now presented personally to the Director General of Education in Queensland, its first report. We reproduce the Summary of Advice given by the Consultative Committee to the Director General, together with a list of members of the committee and its terms of reference. We know this will be of great interest to similar groups in other states and also to teachers and others concerned with the education of Aboriginal children. Ed.)
