Currently, we have only English as the only subject that is compulsory in our school system. Mathematics and Science should also be compulsory through to and including year 12. All other subject should be taught in primary school and continue to year 8. Other subjects are to be selected by the "student" at the end of term three for the following year.

I believe this is a way we can move forward together and make Sorry really mean something.

The truth about how our government is racist. Without education & understanding, there will never be true Reconciliation.

Exposing all Australian's to this understanding should provide a better understanding and make such a difference to negative attitudes.

I thoroughly agree with having Indigenous studies on the primary and secondary school curriculum.

Australia's history is very important, it is simply unacceptable for people (like myself) to have to teach the true history to my children, because the current curriculum only chooses the history it wants to teach. Educate people and then reinforce with applicable policy to ensure that Australian's know the country's true history and the current practices observed by the country's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders today.

Languages, cultural practices and knowledge of this land are continually being lost to all future generations, be they of aboriginal heritage or not, due to misunderstanding, miscommunication and more dishearteningly, wide spread apathy. We need to take action and educate people now before there is no one left to teach.

I wish I had learned more about Indigenous Australian culture and history as I went through my schooling. As an Indigenous Australian it would have given me a greater sense of pride and belonging to have my culture recognised, acknolwedged and shared through a valued educational system.

Aboriginal perspectives are one of the three main themes highlighted in the new national curriculum and is a big improvement, but does it go far enough?

There is too much at stake and soon there won't be anything left to retrieve except history.

Curriculum is only the first step. But it is a good beginning.
