Educating for Uncertainty in a Changing World: Issues within an Australian Remote Indigenous Context.
Torres, Pat; Arnott, Allan
Comparative Education, v35 n2 p225-34 Jun 1999
In response to overseas economic competition and changing technologies, Australia's national vocational education and training system was recently restructured, with emphases on competency-based training and industry participation. This national training system has had little relevance for geographically remote Aboriginal communities. Issues of control, access, equity, funding, and culturally appropriate practices are discussed. Contains 24 references. (SV)
