Why is Aboriginal Content Important in Early Childhood Education?
Development of cultural understanding starts at an early age with knowledge increasing as children are exposed to concepts and events.
It promotes shared understanding, recognition, respect and reconciliation for future generations.
It supports Aboriginal students and works towards closing the gap in education outcomes.
Children get to engage with the stories and knowledge of the oldest continuous culture on earth.
Inclusion of this content in early development prepares children for new learning at school and beyond.
A historical understanding of the Australian Aboriginal story is key in being able to comprehend current affairs and issues that affect Aboriginal people today.
