Exclusion on demand policy -1902
Title: Student equity in Australian higher education
Date: 2016
National curriculum
Resulting classroom practice
The exclusion on demand policy of 1902 had been implemented to keep the indigenous section
of children out of the schooling system. The minorities in the society were to be marginalized
and the aboriginals were to be deprived of all the facilities. This was definitely one of the worst
case scenarios in this section (Parkes, McRae-Williams & Tedmanson, 2015).
Impact on indigenous students
This manifestation of the exclusion of the marginal people has been seen in a lot of ways. In the
federal constitution of the country, it has already been discussed to respect and recognize all the
rights of the indigenous children regarding the education. If they are excluded from the education
policy, the entire meaning of the education policy is left unfulfilled. This policy had excluded the
aboriginal children of Australia from the education and this created a huge gap between the
indigenous and non indigenous section on the basis of the literacy rate.
The aboriginal and Torres Strait islander education action -2010-2014
Title: Learning and teaching in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education.
Date: 2016

2SOCIOLOGY
National Curriculum
Resulting classroom practice
The education policies for the aboriginal and Torres Strait islanders had been
implemented between the years 2010 and 2014. The aboriginals or Torres Strait islanders had
been deprived of the proper education and they did not receive the minimum facilities either. In
this scenario, it was very much evident that the education action had been taken up by the
Federal Government that all the children belonging to the Torres Strait islander group will
receive the proper education within schools and the government ensured that the students will
not be victimized due to racism within the schools (Parkes, McRae-Williams & Tedmanson,
2015).
Impact on indigenous students
Under this action, all the children of the Torres Strait islanders, their families and school staff
will be safe from the victimization through the racist comments. This act is also liable to ensure
that practices within the school premises should be refined that the cultural integrity within the
school could be ensured.
Parramatta Native institution 1814

3SOCIOLOGY
The native institutions in Parramatta and other aboriginal Australian regions had been set
up for the best interest of the common people. These black town institutions had existed between
1814 and 1829. These institutions were basically the important parts of the campaign and this
campaign had been led by the contemporary Governor Lachlan Macquarie.
Impact on indigenous students
Through this campaign, the enlightenment ideals had been propagated among the aboriginal
people near Parramatta and the nearby black areas (Bodkin-Andrews & Carlson, 2016). All the
stories of this time could be found in the colonial archive and this is definitely one of the most
important matters regarding the lives of these native people during the first half of the 19th
century. The social disruption had been brought in the regions like Eora and Cadigal. The
experiences of that time could be found through the oral histories from the families. The setting
up process of the native institutions was really very helpful for the indigenous people.
The Assimilation period

the literature

The assimilation period is definitely one of the most entertaining and most positive sides
of the aboriginal history in Australia. The time between the 1940s and 1960s is recognized as the
