Your opportunity to provide feedback into the review of the Australian Curriculum
"The release of the revised national history curriculum has reignited the perennial debate about what students should be taught about the nation’s history" wrote Kevin Donnelly, Senior Research Fellow, Australian Catholic University in the Sydney morning Herald 18 May 2021.
There have been several media articles in that raise concern about proposed revisions to the Australian Curriculum. These include the approach to reading, teaching of civics, the de-emphasis of Western civiliation and Judeo-Christianity and, from some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander figures, the injection of "Critical Race Theory" into the classrom and the use of the label "First Nations" in reference to Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander People.
David de Carvalho, ACARA CEO, released this statement addressing these concerns.
Senior Research Fellow, Australian Catholic University
