This is unashamedly one of those good news stories. No one can deny the horrors facing Aboriginal kids in bush towns all over the country. But for some, just a few, there's a chance to escape. And the opportunity is coming from an unexpected source. A number of our top private schools are opening their doors, thanks to scholarships for disadvantaged kids. Like many great ideas, it started out small. But it's been so successful, millions of dollars are being raised to extend the scheme. So now, even more of our poorest children can look forward to an education that was only money could buy.

It’s been 14 years since this was aired, I was curious to see where they are today so I did some research. Ricky is now a spokesperson for the indigenous people, teaches indigenous language to school children, runs a youth group and works on numerous different projects to bridge the gap. He is also the chairperson for the Aboriginal Reference Group. In 2020, Ricky won an award for volunteer of the year.
I wasn’t able to find anything on the other 2 girls.
Mimi Becker, the young white girl who was talking about trips to Paris, she’s now a reporter for channel 9. I guess prestigious schools are worth the investment for your child if one can afford it.
I remember this story like it was yesterday and often wonder what the kids are up to now. Thank you for the update
No child should be left behind, and I sincerely hope this program continues to grow.
B O R I N G 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Mantis, for you maybe, but it's accurate! Cheers
REMEMBER THAT THESE KIDS ARE THE LUCKY ONES! The vast majority of Indigenous people are not given the opportunities these kids are and they are not able to rise above poverty in a way society says you should. There are real, systemic and racist issues that exist in Australia that effect Thousands of Aboriginal and Torrens Strait Islander people and make it very difficult for them to live happy and fulfilling lives. The fact that a few kids have been able to 'break the cycle' doesn't change that.
I understand we all love a good feel good story and THAT'S OKAY. But don't let a handful of feel good stories blind you to the bigger injustice.
Let's build a society where No Aboriginal or Torrens Strait Islander person has to live in poverty, regardless of whether or not they win a scholarship to and elite private school.
Amen
White supremacy has taken so much from these kids and their families, I pray that these few determined kids really can grow up bright and confident and obtain the resources needed to start repairing their communities for future generations. Children starting to see faces like their own in positions of power (doctors, professors, lawyers, etc) can never be underestimated.
I agree, at least this is a start though. Education is truly the key for any child to escape poverty. Especially in our indigenous community. I think education starts at home and is extended when we go to school. It's up to parents and teachers to keep their children engaged with their education. I know the 3 kids in this story will be successful and they will not forget where they come from or who they are..I saw 3 confident, intelligent, motivated kids who are proud to be Idigenous Australians. Who just happend to be attending Australias best schools. They will definitely change their communities for the better in the future. You mark words...
" And the trickle became a Torrent"
@@jourdainhiini6548 100%!! I agree with you. I don't in ANY WAY want to understate the importance of good education for Children's future and I wish the kids in this documentary all the best for their future!! I just don't want one 'feel good story' to let a broken system off the hook.
Yes it is a feel good story. But it didn't neglect to mention what their fate would have been if they hadn't of received that scholarship. That was spelled out loud and clear.
This story shows what is possible. It is a call to action. Things must change.
So Inspiring! May many more kids receive scholarships.
This story brought me to tears. Those kids have such a blessing in their Nan. Giving our children the best education at home and at school is what every child deserves. Especially our indigenous community. I was blessed enough to have a private education and unfortunately like everything, you get what you pay for. It's is a sad fact that education is included in this. To see indigenous children having access to the most expensive schools Australia has to offer is heart warming. I can only hope and pray that the 3 we saw are just the start of MANY more. Im sure if most Aussies knew about this program, you would have no trouble raising the donations needed. God bless them.
I wish these young aboriginal kids the best. They are paving the way!
Beautiful to see Aboriginal kids receiving the same opportunity as others.
Very few will get these kind opportunities.
I think as more children go thru these programs and become high wage earners they’ll be able to contribute to the scholarship fund. They can then add even more young aboriginal children to those schools. I wish they could find more ways to provide jobs for the people left behind in the community. Like produce gardens, fish farming. Maybe woodworking, painting, crafts, tourist.
They can if they continue to give them this kind of education.
About time we get more positive stories about indigenous people. A good Education is the helping hand they need. Yes
Don't worry brother a lot of us are doing really really good👍🏽 but it's not shown 😔 so people think they know us and what we are like as people but they don't we ain't all the same
Some vocational trade programs in socially depressed areas can help. Programs such as plumbing, electricals, joinery, welding can make a significant difference. Not all children are suited to academics.
I hope both are offered. I am from an inner city area in Chicago I can relate.
Oh thank you for sharing these heartfelt stories ❤
Millions raised for a handful of "lucky kids." Imagine what that same amount of money could do in those communities. Maybe they wouldn't be left with "nothing good," as the reporter says. How ignorant!
No, YOU are ignorant. Help must start somewhere, also helping those select few isn't at cost of neglecting all others
Am from Kenya to be sincere am really fascinated to see this, I know as human we like to admire what we don't have and forget to cherish what we have, those amazing people you are calling indigenous to me they are adorable especially with those eyes that's real beauty Australia is blessed not only the minerals but with God's love too,as a Kenyan I watch most of your contents because your English is easier to hear than the Brits but the Americans killed all the accents💯
WHAT AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY FOR THESE KIDS,
I WISH THEM ALL THE BEST ON THEIR JOURNEYS.
They're first peoples. They should be the most wealthy because they owned all the land first. They've been through so much unnecessary trauma as people it's so sad. The grandma was lovely and so driven for her grandchildren. Both children are so clever and good-looking. Wish them all the best in life in their dreams and hope they empower the next generation of aboriginal kids.
So does that mean I should get a piece of Europe because I’m a white Australian? All Men are created equal you shouldn’t get a hand out because of the colour of your skin or the colour of your ancestors skin.
There's owning land and adding value to land. Not the same thing.
@@FigaroHey they do neither lol
All disadvantaged kids deserve scholarships no matter their race!!
Yes true but our indigenous kids need the confidence to know they are equal and accepted the same as everyone else. ❤
@@bryanboulton I did my apprenticeship with an indigenous fell, he was late to work probably 3 days out of the week, would never turn up on Friday, did the bare minimum but the boss loved having him on because he got government funding. He got away with murder because he was black. Pissing money away on them without reading into where it’s going is a waste of time.
@@MrLudwig101wasn't your money ya sook so why worry
Wow, these beautiful kids are just 🌟 good on them🤣 We have to give them so much love, from growing up and seeing where they have come from. To have the maturity, too step out side their comfort zones and look outside the box. My day has been so much better by watching this story 💘💝💖💋 All my love and best wishes to these young adults 💕
Beautiful grandmother!
I find it quite heartbreaking that in this country, Mexico, or Native Americans and Blacks in the U.S. There is always a strong addiction to alcohol. Tobacco and liquor stores on every corner. I find that to be so hurtful. How can you contract jobs out to other people.Then not give the local men a chance to work and be a good example to their kids. No wonder they feel hopeless. We say we a God fearing nation but in the bible God said the poor will be with us Always. Work the fields take what you nee. But leave behind crops for the less fortunate. Their not lazy they are just mentally and emotionally crushed.The lack of compassion we have towards people brings me much sorrow.😢😢😢😢
Beautiful kids, beautiful story.
This is so wonderful ❤
Great story. I hope all the kids go far :)
Wow this is so wonderful
Education changes lives. Period.
No it doesn’t
@@mantis10_surf85 .....sure it does. It opens doors.
@@alison4316 , Sure Karen. Whatever you say 😳🤦♂️🤷♂️😴
@@mantis10_surf85 😆 go to school, sweetie. It'll help you, too.
What an important video! I hope it helps chance the view on /within Aboriginals .
What beautiful kids with awesome smiles. Great opportunity for them.
Good for them I hope they do well in life!😃✌️
happy for these beautiful kids
How, on this day and age, in a country like Australia are poor children not being educated!
What a Great Dad! Wish all FN and all young ones equal opportunities
This is the first 60 Minutes video I've seen where the comments were turned on
Thats so cool but more is needed for all kids
FANTASTIC.. KNOWLEDGE SHALL SET YOU FREE
Nothing will set them free from the racism that made them "disadvantaged" in the first place. It's like the African Americans who manage to pass for white in order to be accepted as normal. These kids have to leave their culture because of racism: the government created the social problems among aboriginals and can't be bothered to build schools or help them help themselves out of the position the white elites created for them.
Very curious as to why the comment section is open for this video. I want to see a where are they now video on these kids. Hopefully all went well for them.
❤Heart-warming and Inspirational ❤
About time !!
Education in a good school in a big city is the answer. But only a few will be given that opportunity or even want it.
this is so good for the kids
Thank you 😊 for this video, do you offer account management or have any recommendations,?
@@anthonychapman8571I have been seeing so many recommendations about DAILEY CARINN FX she must be really good

@@pauldimacalihow do I connect with her?
Anyone ??
So glad to hear this. I heard Australia is awfully racist towards their aboriginal population
They still are when there are no decent schools for aboriginal schools and private schools have to create scholarships so a few can escape the poverty the government created by willingly being brainwashed into elite culture.
It’s a corrupt country
I hope they get a good education and work hard to become an inspiration to everyone in their community (mob)
Trying not to cry at how easy this could have been 25 years ago... if only this project started earlier..
Those kids were beautiful.
Everything great about the education prospects - but the local communities these kids depart and return to need to be remembered for the lack of better options for these kids - the returning kids need some activities and infrastructure, that's also for the kids not ready or able to take on distance schooling models.. just keep the benefits rolling..
I habe a friend who libes in Australia and told me the Aborigines todate are yreated very badly in Australianand over time they are just about 300k -Thatbif the settlerd had theirnway they have completely wioed them out.That its a very sad affair. My heart goes out for all the Aborigines in Australia .
Their is structural poverty and this is a government problem. Black people world wide are treated with total racism.
I am aware and itis wrong, in my opinion.
Are Aborigines black people?
@@18890426 duh 😂😂😂
In the vast landscape of education, some students are like seeds in a desert, struggling to thrive. But, amidst this challenge, a unique opportunity emerges, akin to finding an oasis in the arid wilderness.
What a nice kid i hope he doesn't go the other way like most of our kin do . Keep up the good work little brother. 👏🏽
Don't you people get tired of being gaslighted?
Good luck my kids!
Education is not the total solution but...
The increase in private schools has seen a HUGE DROP in Australia education standard…but at least this can use then effectively for remote people..
Beautiful
Hopefully she’ll become a doctor and go back to help her village.
Just manage to get them ID cards and passport - You just solved everything. An identification card gives them an identity to pursue work, career, pathway to better future and this future is different for different people. If you did not have bills to pay you too would not need to pursue future but rather settle down.
Hell no can't do it.I thought the worm was for fishing.😮😮😮😮 God bless you're education.
Spend the money on best private boarding for the kids. It's the best investment for society
Great news
This is pretty great, to raise money for this!
It’s time to do something for those people
Oh, you let people comment now?
They pick & choose
Sometimes
Soory, I am not eating worms! But I wish the kids the best, they deserve it.
Made me heave
Talk about justifying colonialism
Man, hunting for and eating live worms? Blech!
The out back looks better
About time.
The aboriginal kids that are shown here are not full blooded aborigines. They have European dna. Glad they are given an opportunity to improve their lives.
Most Aboriginals are mixed but many won't acknowledge their white genetics.
@@AjayRiggz there’s no white asian or white Eastern Indians.
@@AjayRiggz I guess to some people she’s white. But I don’t see her as white. Sometimes people of color give people a white pass. Even some whites for some reason.
I just hope these kids don’t lose their cultures by being sent to the schools.
The difference is the kids going to the schools is this new generation , are not losing their culture, it won’t be beaten out of them.
That's the least they could do for these poor people after yall suppress them for years and stole their lands
so truth!
It sounds like there is education in their communities but unsupportive home environments due to unemployment and drug use. It is sad that have to move far away to do well in life.
❤️
“So Paris was last” 🤦♂️
My grandkids are going to be somebody. Because if they are aboriginal, of course they are nobody.
Australia still on colonizing the Aborigines ,very evil.
Wow😪 how can you be cruel to the ansestors of your land. It’s going to come back and bite you right in the ass.
Any can choose to do whatever they want to do besides it's her life she's got to live her own life
Tree worms , hard pass
Subsidised by the government ? Schools get funding for Aboriginal advisors etc
Colonialism has done a job on this world😢
Still going on in Australia, I'm told by a friend who moved to Australia, they treat them very badly there in Australia,very hated in their own country and their population is down to around 300,000 only. Sad.
It is absolutely mathematically certain that every single person living in Australia today is descended from a First Nation Australian. The genetic isopoint guarantees that to be true.
👍👍👍👍
😂😂so we went paris, nepals n so on 😅
Once these kids are out of the hood, they can actually start doing something positive with their lives.
Do these schools have any Aboriginal Studies & are the Aboriginal Students allowed to be themselves ?
I doubt it.. Glorified Assimilation tactics
They are religious schools so they would be indoctrinating kids with their religion. It wouldn't be compatible to teach Aboriginal spiritual beliefs of any traditions that clash with Christianity
These children are not being assimilated, they are being enabled to walk with pride and confidence in both worlds.
They will be able to take their education home, to help create better lives for their families, their communities, their tribes.
The girl dreaming of being a dr, her only opportunity IS to attend a better highschool. When she completes her medical degree, imagine the changes she can bring to her people? They will have more confidence in seeking medical care from someone who speaks their shared language, or another Aboriginal language. And im not referring to minor medical care, but to more specialised medical care.
We are ALL more confident if the dr we see speaks our own language.
She’s not aboriginal, she’s mixed. She has a very Caucasian structure
According to your dubious logic, Obama isn’t really African American either.
@@shreeraaman1667 he’s not. He’s mixed
@@shreeraaman1667 also Obama father is African
I'm an advocate for the countrywide incorporation of lateral thinking into the year four five six curriculum. The youth will be in charge of the planet one day obviously. They ought to make some headway whilst they're young. I'm big on saving time. Myself I collect deep thinkers who practice to be honest and see finer details. Together we're inclined to deal with circumstances as they arise. Pools of least barbaric decision makers, reduce degrees of separation & become more the culmination of one another of our various types. Especially since we'd all faced the covid pandemic. Critical thinkers, no matter how different & strange our ideas, have more in common than who all think what taught.
We're few & far between, but more & more the culmination of one another decreasing degrees of separation, the better we're able to spot thinkers in the online crowd. Free writer lateral thinkers, saying things we like & the things we don't in discussion ..aren't who people who develop tech with money for money provisioned & developed writing equipment for. That tech is for who write for our money only what you like to hear, & this lowers the shock threshold for truth that hurts of the collective, & less people becoming ing writers thinking writing risky putting the ones saying what we do like & not at risk.
You stand to die one day the way people do when they're not who people think need help. The more people need help (who really do) though, we'll tend to find ourselves further than anyone helping people seek. At work. Indoors writing. Caring for dependants. We make least barbaric decisions which have upsides. They are the stones that kill many birds.
Now. You know that if we paused what everyone's doing, you'd see many of the decisions being made are to please & impress. Though money's meant to solve problems, many of the problems being solved.. are what people with money who are used to solving problems quickly & easily & the ones they say are problems with it, & you'd notice that together the world are creating a backlog of problems people not want to look at to have to solve. These are those who won't provide free writer lateral thinkers the hardcore writers tech we need, with the mountains of rules developed by their moneymen (who every man think are who to be like 'like the next man') that make up law. A citizen kept comfortable by government made up of folk who apper necessary given all the laws that look like solutions they govern us all with ..doesn't know they not agree with the basis for them. This makes it harder to let go should an alternative system come along.
..You not being provided the hardcore equipment you need to solve the backlog of problems people not want to look at to have to solve, reduces how panicky government are, which lessens how panicky the citizen is about government (with all its laws we tell ourselves with civilised by) ever crumbling. Remaining calm slows the rate we pick each other of, rich getting richer & poor getting poorer, enough that we not realise this is happening & get to 'enjoy our lives'. Everyone knows they turn their backs on greater issues, & no one ever wonders if those issues were addressed if they'd have less worries. They would. Breathing room, not to you with laws to look like unshiftable lawmakers be how to reduce worry. ..Wanting what or better than the next man globally, means we've only known so much of what we like & still think same things problems. This makes it even easier to solve the backlog of problems people not want to look at to have to solve. They're still the same too. In this way government, actually helped the lateral thinker take the fore. Then, so many laws, we're able to see the outlines of things not being said. We can write the world law of still very basic least barbaric decisions from scratch. ..I think it's time to discuss a law of little countries. Districts people call home, & design their own laws, which a citizen understands. We are the beginnings of new government. Collect, & together, deal with the backlog of problems people not want to look that been left for you (who people think must be the starving artist variety writer) & expose the mountain of laws people aren't aware of they'd not sought basis for, & the laws to improve those laws based on them, all of them with downsides for 'making laws sake'.
If one of many pools of deep thinkers, the I recommend dealing with backlog to deal with government panic shifting from government to law of little countries, then it will be up to you to lessen how barbaric the laws are the people wish to live by, & provision equipment. These are early days. Collect the minds, & see what happens. In 20 years, I hope we're as civilised as though dragged two future generations back to meet us. How many generations are we behind now, liking same things & thinking same things problems so long? To solve problems you need to have made headway. It is I who starts to panic. Who is a philosopher who does not like practical philosophy? Ready to take the world? There's a new world on the way I'd say. Humans are said to have quite a slow break speed in emergency, so, let's get the people we need in charge of the new world in place. Apparently, smart children aren't as popular, because really when it comes down to it, if we had to choose, we choose our minds before to be popular Any day. There are too many more popular than natural in the world anyway. Popularity kind of just keeps them out of the way, liking same things & thinking same things problems without us. A thinker though, well why on earth would we want to blend in by our looking like everyone else? That would be mad. Here in Australia we began incorporating lateral thinking into the primary school curriculum in the 90s. We are in our 40s now. Average age for Nobel prize nominations. I don't want a Nobel prize. We're decision makers not stage stander award framers. All I write is free. Someone else can do that. We all know what risks happening to people that say things people both like & what they don't, don't we. To be absolutely frank, we making least barbaric decisions need to raise the collective shock threshold for truth that hurts, while at the same time not be who being shot for it. I wouldn't hide this from students.
Please don't tell me this is sideshow alley lol. Collect the minds. Reducing degrees of separation between us, become more & more the culmination of one another, to make the headway enough where the ones looked to deal with circumstances as they arise. You know? Ruling is not to do with fame or fortune. No. It's simply about ruling. Reducing the validity of government, & ruling in its stead. If a lateral thinker, & you write for free, the things people like & the things they don't, then you know you don't have to want to take a government to take government, & you know the only take equipment you have is the internet & one another to do it with. Do it. Wishing for & then relying on power, fortune & popularity, just to say what keep folk comfortable in a panicked condition (whilst keeping the tech from lateral thinkers that should have been provisioned us) to be listened to, is not characteristic of a natural leader.✍️
Krystel, Stanthorpe. Fruit packer. *Shrugs*. Go go go!!!✍️😉
You know? ..To think is an amazing gift.
Mankind never stop with the lies where are the 100% natives no mixture them are mix kids is this a joke or something 😢🤔
How sick! Yak!
Oh yes..and when you eat pork it makes us sick too..how do you justify that?? Are you gonna leave your way of eating just because someone else is getting annoyed and disgusted by it!!!
6:00 min what she says are the same problems that native americans who live in the midwest face. No opportunities
Aboriginals have beautiful skin color
Yet Australia is the ONLY democratic country, that does not have constitutional recognition of its naives STILL... all our allies have had it for hundreds of years...
SOME good thing have emerged in the last 30 year.. BUT low standard of our Conservatives political .. Like Peter Dutton ..mean we will not treat them as equals... the way the USA Canada and NZ do
Hakuna Mata 😂
This reminds me so much of the cultural assimilation that's been so vicious in wiping out native communities around the world.. Didn't Australia have Residential schools too? -- Didn't cultural assimilation techniques die off decades ago?
There are so much better approaches for this, than taking the kids out of their communities, and putting them in boarding schools.
Fund the reserves, and support an education program that allows their culture to flourish.. or leave them the fuck alone..
This whole story is predicated on "We didn't do it right last time.. But let's give it another go, eh? We can fix these people if we try hard enough."
100% agree n it baffles me how so many ppl in these comments do not see this glorified assimilation tactic story
Did you listen to those kids? I didn't get the impression they wanted to assimilate. I got the impression of 3 intelligent and driven kids, who are proud to be indigenous Australians..did you see his Uncle teaching him about their culture? How are they assimilating? I see them taking advantage of a loophole in a system that has locked them out for generations. I see a nanna who was in tears with pride over her Grandson. Who is attending one of Australia's elite schools..now that's awesome in my books. He is getting what only Australia's richest get..an education on how to CHANGE the system that has locked them out for so long..
Ya I was thinking the same, it’s a solution but I’m not sure it’s really the best solution.
They've already been brainwashed into thinking that the white oppressors' culture is the best culture, hence the Nana's pride: my grandchildren will pass in the "better" world, and can escape our worthless culture.
Appaling media. So now you are doing them a favour?
Every global indigenous people group have the same story once European Whites “settle,” or take over, THEIR land. We seriously need to rethink this global standard called educated and civilized, which is based on ONE people’s version of living.😢😢😢
It wasn't just Europeans who took over. Middle Easterners and Asians too.
@@vg7735….😶. Okay. So happens, maybe thankfully, I have not experienced such mentioned culture’s debilitating influence in Australia, parts of Apartheid South Africa, Canada, Caribbean, North America, nor New Zealand.
Yet, I have lived through the European domination that dictates what constitutes acceptable “norms” when referring to clothing, hairstyles, food choices, beauty (or lack there of), income, entertainment, and an overall standard for living.
In my world, based on my experience, again, thankfully, no Asian nor Middle Easterners have subjected native populations to reserved areas with structural racism binding EVERY aspect of their lives. However, such is not the case in other places in the world when such mentioned cultures have damaged entire societies.
With such an understanding, I would suggest the culprit that must then be addressed are those possibly wealthy people groups who operate as if their wealth equates success: this is not truth. This is especially not truth when success hinges on and depends upon one culture belittling our fellow human beings. Again, it is time to rethink the standard defining what qualifies as a civilized society. Sadly, the majority of indigenous peoples are somehow defined as “marginalized” by the marginal groups dominating wealth rather than human inclusion.
Are you kidding folks - These aboriginal folks have intelligence, skill, talent, survival skills, and insight most people would dream of having. Sending them to schools is an attempt to merely indoctrinate them to this mess the NWO is pushing on us.
They aren’t using their intelligence etc. if all they are doing is nothing or drinking and doing drugs.
@@Sky-pt6lc There is always a percentage who will drink and do drugs - there are plenty of rich folks who fall in that category.
Did you watch the program? It seems a lot of people in these communities are unemployed, doing drugs, skipping school and gettinv pregnant at a young age. The girls said they would probably go down that road if they stayed there.
@@vg7735 Sounds like your typical high school. Unless you actually go and see for yourself you will never understand their culture.
They are mixed. Full blooded aboriginates are very low IQ. Just google it. They could not get in to such schools.
I really don’t know how I feel about this.
Still trying to impose white ways on indigenous youth….
It’s an opportunity sure. But it still heralds the same underlying message, conform to colonist white way perspectives of living to build a life ‘worth’ living…
We stole everything and then offer educational scholarships (that the vast majority of Australian youth can’t aspire to).
I absolutely wish them all the best. But what does it actually achieve?
When she mentioned "they just see me as me & not as an Aborigine" darling thats not good. They must accept your Aborigine in order to accept u. Its what u are & what makes u, u!
Such a pity that they lived a real life before the pink man 'civilized' them 😢
Glorified ASSIMILATION tactics.. Does this school also teach students about the indigenous culture.. to learn from each other.. I doubt it.. This is what happened to our Native American kids in the U.S.
This is racism if they can’t afford it they can’t get it why to blacks get free shit all the time
Well what is the ratio? Majority of them are non aboriginals..so what if they were given the help that they need to improve their lifestyle and their education??? They’ve been denied their rights for education and even citizenship for many years..how are you going to justify it?? Why no one is talking about it?? This is sick…alcoholism and drug addiction were not their culture but was brought in and forced on them..look at bigger perspective and don’t simply think that scholarship scheme is exclusive for them..not all aboriginal children are benefiting from this..only a small number and that angers you??? Damn..
You sound bitter and jealous dear
This interviewer is irritating the way she approached this story. It’s so void of a personal touch more of like “I’m still better than you and we’ll let a few of you in to a good school.” They tell most indigenous stories like this the same way in America. It made me feel like “they” “media” are still out of touch. Good Luck to all the kids at the school!
It's not about race, so quit the BS. Any child in a remote area suffers educational disadvantage. Need is NOT based on race. Education is for everyone regardless of colour in Australia, and the fact is it was available to black and white children right back into the 1800's. You have to realise that education was not even compulsory for children in Australia until 1872. Australia led the world in doing this. The Catholic Church was a big contributor in providing education to Aboriginal children and St Mary McKillop is one great example....Also of interest, Aboriginal men in Australia were voting before white women got the vote here and around the world! They don't teach that in the poisonous neo-Marxist curriculum of our schools, do they now!
A great propaganda to spread Catholicism , picking few kids !!!As more Indigenous are converting to other faith specifically Islam!!!
Really bro? Ok so that's why they are doing so.
7:34 DO NOT give the BS narrative that because these few children get to private, ELITE schools, that they have the same opportunities as everyone else!!!I am “melanin poor,” come from a middle class family. My parents could not afford to send me to any sort of private school, nor would I’d be graced with a scholarship! Because I am light skinned from a light family! I am discriminated upon simply by the way I look!! I would never have the opportunity, nor do my children unfortunately, to be in elite schools of Anytime! College, and paying for it, is something that we struggle with right now! My child doesn’t fit the VAST majority of scholarships that require basically “someone non-white” and I’ve even seen several that are for alphabet people only!! So we have to try and foot the bill, or help my child, get through college, when we essentially live paycheck to paycheck! Nobody in my family history has ever gotten free handouts, unless you count my parents who are on government assistance due to their age and massive amounts of disability. I went to University - nothing fancy - got a degree that is essentially useless, though nobody advised me at the time… And it was only a few months ago that the final payment was made! With my child supposed to be starting university in August! It’s actually quite upsetting to hear about these “heartwarming“ stories were not a single one of them have ever or will ever apply to people of my race. I understand that the richest in the world are light skinned, but they certainly aren’t helping out any fellow “ypipo” - Instead, their focus is on people who are Melody and Rich… And the more melanin content they have, the more likely they are to get free rides and to be offered scholarships based solely on the race they were born into. So for me, this is just another example of the inequality we now see, on the basis of a few whyt families who got where they are off the backs of others… black, white, and every shade in between!! There are never scholarships offered to the family that has no wealth, but also has enough money in the eyes of the government that they get no help in that regard, either. My son may lose his spot at going to college because although he’s worked his hide off, there were none he qualified for.
You seem to be extremely resentful towards black people. They’re not the ones who are responsible for your family’s current predicament.
This is NOT education, its brainwashing and indoctrination, ask Africa 😢
