My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Education. I refer to the Prime Minister’s promise today to ensure that every Indigenous four-year-old in remote Aboriginal communities attends preschool and I ask: will the government ensure that these preschools are bilingual? Will it also insist that secondary schooling is made available where currently only primary schools exist? What measures will the government put in place to ensure that teachers are better equipped for Indigenous education in remote areas and what will the government do to increase the number of Indigenous teachers?
