page no 45 note 4) During the collection of data, research teams interviewed the younger siblings of Grant holders who were in the final year of primary school. These data are not reported here; it was a relatively small sample and because of shyness and extreme youth it was often difficult to gain much understanding of the primary students’ knowledge and aspirations

page no 51 note (2) Possible membership of such a workshop would include senior officers from Australian and State Departments of Education, the Aboriginal Consultative Group, Aboriginal parents, teachers, senior Aboriginal students, senior officers from other departments, and academics.

page no 52 note (3) In 1971 a National Workshop on Aboriginal Education was convened at the initiative of and with the support of the Australian Office of Aboriginal Affairs and the Australian Department of Education and Science to consider priorities for action and research. Workshop members included senior representatives of State Education Departments. The Workshop concentrated largely on the pre-school and primary levels and it may reasonably be inferred that many of the developments in the primary field since 1971 owe something of their inspiration to that Workshop.
