Back to EpisodesChanging Australia: Aunty Lynette Riley and powering Indigenous education
Published 3 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
The education system has historically been riddled with inequalities and injustices for First Nations children.
Aunty Lynette Riley's parents were only able to go to year three - in a system that then focused on manual work.
That's driven her to make change over decades - in how we embed Indigenous education, culture and language, and better train teachers.
- Guest: Aunty Professor Lynette Riley, Wiradjuri and Gamilaroi woman from Dubbo and Moree, Chair of Aboriginal Education and Indigenous Studies at the University of Sydney and the Co-Chair of the National NAIDOC Committee
