National Statement
National Statement for Engaging Young Australians with Asia in Australian Schools
Engaging Young Australians with Asia in Australian Schools is a national policy statement approved by the Ministerial Council on Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs (MCEETYA) in 2005. The Statement provides a rationale for embedding a focus on Asia and it broadly identifies the knowledge, understandings, values and skills required to engage with Asia in the context of existing policies and practices in teaching and learning.
The Statement is currently under revision to incorporate the National policy for Asia Literacy.
