Remote indigenous education, Australia - Steve Tribbeck

Part 1 – The role of education in remote indigenous communities, schools and family education

Steve Tribbeck dicusses about the role of education in remote indigenous communities; schools and family education; bilingual verses unilingual which is (unfortunately) happening in some communities.

Steve: My journey has taken me to the heart of many indigenous cultures throughout the world… Over the years my sense of responsibility to (Indigenous) countrymen has grown. Anyone who goes beyond the superficial with Indigenous people will know that they face many challenges – one of the most significant being that their voices are rarely heard or respected. Indigenous people are articulate, educated and deeply knowledgeable of their own laws and culture but language barriers, racism and geographical and philosophical distance from the mainstream conspire to leave them ignored and marginalized. Being keenly aware of this I have made it my life’s work to promote the awareness, respect for and understanding of Indigenous sensibilities and ways of being. In essence it is the work of fostering compassion for humankind in all its wonderful forms and celebrating diversity.
