Extract

Over the past months quite a few people have asked me what the differences are between bilingual education and two-way schooling. I will try to contrast the two models in this paper, partly because it's worth doing anyway and partly because it might be one way to reveal some differences between genuine two-way schooling and pseudo two-way schooling. Of course this is just one white person's view, and involves extrapolations from the types of things that actually are happening in, say, a half dozen schools, to what may happen as a result of a wider shift to Aboriginal control of school philosophy and curriculum.
