Cultural Diversity: Homeland Learning Centres

Cultural diversity is important in so many Sydney schools and in other parts of Australia. Like Emma, I will also be looking at cultural diversity.

Something I had not heard about until recently is the concept of Homeland Learning Centres. These centres are not schools, yet they provide education (usually only primary education) to students living on their traditional lands. There is a lot of debate regarding the equity of education services provided in indigenous and non-indigenous communities in the NT. 

Please read the transcript below of an interview which discusses Homeland Learning Centres. 

What do you think of Homeland Learning Centres?

How would it be different teaching in a Homeland Learning Centre in comparison to a school?
