Should schools start teaching children Indigenous language? #QandA

Probably less than 1% of the population is fluent in an indigenous language & there are 100’s of them. There’re probably more people who can speak Latin which is at least a written language & is a pathway to other languages. There is already too much junk in curriculums, so no

Any language taught in school should have a practical side to it. We live in the Asia-Pacific region and the language in these regions are far more useful to learn or another more universal language, like French.

There is zero benefit to learning a language hardly anyone speaks. Just more woke nonsense 🙄

Schools should start teaching reading, writing & arithmetic. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Don't worry about learning to read, write and math. Learn a language that will have zero benefit for your career in the real world. Classic Q&A rubbish.

Nah, skip the language, and leave the kids alone. If your truly sorry about the invasion and want to virtue signal about it, get some lefty male adults to do this as an apology. 👇

OMFG! The ABC is taking us back to cave dwellers. Is this real, or some cruel joke? The World language is English, try learning that for a start.

Might as well teach them how to do cave paintings as well. About as useful to the 21st Century.

My children are being taught Italian but if we lived in NZ they would be taught both English and Māori.
