How can teachers develop their knowledge of Asian cultures?
The National Statement for Engaging Young Australians with Asia in Australian Schools (2006) provides a rationale for studies of Asia, guidance on embedding studies of Asia within the curriculum and information for teachers as well as parents and the community. The Asia Education Foundation has promoted and supported studies of Asia since 1992. They have produced a wide range of Asia-related print and electronic materials for Australian schools and are resourced to organise professional learning opportunities for teachers in studies of Asia.
