16.01.2022 ADULT LITERACY INQUIRY BEGINS WITH EVIDENCE FROM PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION AND DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The House Standing Committee on Employment, Education and T...raining will hold its first public hearing on Wednesday, 17 February 2021 as part of the Committee's inquiry into adult literacy and its importance. The Committee will hear evidence from the Productivity Commission and the Department of Education, Skills and Employment (DESE). The Productivity Commission's review of the National Agreement for Skills and Workforce Development found that there should be a coordinated national strategy to improve school education, 'second-chance' learning in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector and other adult education services. This would seek to reduce the large number of Australians with low language, literacy, numeracy and digital literacy skills. See more

05.01.2022 Tyrown Waigana, a Perth based artist and designer, has been named as this year’s winner of the prestigious National NAIDOC Poster Competition. His winning entry pictured here - Shape of Land - was judged by the National NAIDOC Committee to have best illustrated the 2020 NAIDOC theme: Always Was Always Will Be. Waigana, a proud Noongar and Saibai Islander, has previously been named as one of WA’s best new and emerging Indigenous artists.... According to the 23-year-old, his winning entry depicts the Rainbow Serpent coming out of the Dreamtime to create this country and how we are strongly connected to it. The Rainbow Serpent is represented by the snake and it forms the shape of Australia, which symbolises how it created our lands." Tyrown explains. "The colour from the Rainbow Serpent is reflected on to the figure to display our connection to the Rainbow Serpent, thus our connection to country. The overlapping colours on the outside is the Dreamtime.The figure inside the shape of Australia is a representation of Indigenous Australians showing that this country - since the dawn of time - always was, and always will be Aboriginal land.
