Abstract | Recent assertions by the Federal Education Minister and members of Federal and various State governments, including comments by various public commentators, have called for a renaissance of history teaching (Bishop, 2006), due in part to Prime Minister John Howard's comment that there is 'too much modernist junk in state curriculums' ('PM renews attack', SMH, 5 July 2006). The Australian History Summit held in Canberra in August 2006 and subsequent discussions in major Australian newspapers and within various interest groups have once again highlighted the increasing presence and control the federal government is attempting to wrest from the states in the matter of curriculum development, design and content. Similar examples of such imposition can be observed in the 1980s, when the then Commonwealth Minister for Education, John Dawkins, noted the need for 'fundamental change in schools, including a curriculum relevant to Australia's time and place in the world... the development of a common framework...complemented by a common national approach to assessment...[and] schools reporting to parents and the community' (Dawkins, 1988, pp. 4-5, as cited in Marsh, 2005, p. 156). Furthermore, Dr Brendan Nelson, Federal Education Minister for Education, Science and Training, (2001-2005) and now Julie Bishop, Federal Minister for Education, have also attempted to initiate a move towards a national education system. |
