Description
This file contains a presentation by Lex Ross and Billy McReady that states: "Aboriginals without basic literacy and academic skills will never secure and retain gainful employment." A new curriculum should be implemented that would enhance the self-image of young Aboriginals as to their culture and history. Amulet Consulting's teaching technology "doesn't replace existing teaching systems, it enhances them" with that new curricula. A question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation.
