Stop closure of outstation learning centres in the Northern Territory
- Target:
- Federal and NT Governments
- Region:
- Australia
The NT and Federal Governments have withdrawn support for having small schools or what are known as 'outstation learning centres' in the homelands/outstations.
This will inevitably have a worsening effect on Indigenous education, which is woefully problematic already.
Education which is delivered by dedicated teachers and which is relevant to the survival of outstation businesses, organisations and members is vital to a healthy Indigenous society in the remote regions.
This is just another unexamined ploy to force people back into overcrowded and dysfunctional communities under the guise of economic rationalism/expediency.
We, the undersigned, call on the Northern Territory and Federal Governments to stop the closure of outstation learning centres in the Northern Territory.
