Description
"The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on CRS. While special focus is given to this issue, for the schooling of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people in Australia the review also draws on literature from around the world, particularly from the large body of evidence in the United States of America on American Indian and Alaskan Native children. Whilst cultural responsiveness is needed in service provision for all non-mainstream cultures, the focus of this review is aimed squarely on Australia’s Indigenous population, primarily due to their prominence as Australia’s first peoples." - Background,
