Recognising a wicked problem

Abstract

" ... the challenges facing remote Indigenous education are far from unilinear and will not be overcome through simply attributing complex causes of poor outcomes to poor schools or bad teaching. Nor will they be overcome through one size fits all, proscriptive pedagogy. Rather, solutions are likely to be long term and achieved through incremental hard work. We should maximize innovative development of programs and policy arrangements, redress historic under-investment, concentrate on known factors of success such as community partnership and a mix of direct and indirect classroom instruction and demand real commitment from all levels of government for all Indigenous students" - final paragraph of Web article.
