Are you a citizenship educator working in schools or in galleries, libraries or museums? Do you have an interest in teaching young people to become active and informed members of their community? If that’s the case, we would love to hear from you. 

Dr Keith Heggart (from UTS) is undertaking research into the beliefs and practices of educators around Australia in schools and also in other sectors. He is interested in talking about good - and bad - examples of civics and citizenship education. 

If this sounds like something you are interested in, he would like to talk to you. You can find out more information here: https://forms.office.com/r/8zS9t8x5xi

Alan Tudge’s understanding of our history deserves a fail

9/9/2021

Recently, SCEAA members Keith Heggart, Peter Brett and Sophie Fenton published a response to claims made by the Federal Education Minister, Alan Tudge, about History and Civics and Citizenship. It begins:

The Federal Minister for Education Alan Tudge says the draft History and Civics and Citizenship curriculum is not up to scratch. According to a letter seen by The Australian newspaper, Minister Tudge has suggested that the draft curriculum ‘diminishes Australia’s western, liberal and democratic values’. According  to Tudge, the curriculum provides a negative view about western civilisation placing emphasis on ‘slavery, imperialism and colonisation’. 
He’s not happy with any of Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority’s (ACARA) draft curriculum but history came in for a belting.
Tudge also suggested that there has been an effort to remove or reframe historical events, emphasising ‘invasion theory’ over Australia Day. In addition, he is also concerned that Anzac Day is presented as ‘a contested idea, rather than the most sacred of all days’.
His comments are of particular concern to the Social and Citizenship Education Association of Australia (SCEAA).
