The National Curriculum: A Critique is the first in a series of monographs from the Foundations of Western Civilisation Program.
The legacy of Western Civilisation is rich, complex, and essential – the foundations on which Australia’s society and political system, and large swathes of our culture and history, have been built.
So why are the basics of Western Civilisation absent from the national curriculum?
Edited by Chris Berg. With contributions from Richard Allsop, David Daintree, Julie Novak, Greg Melleuish, Barry Spurr, and Augusto Zimmermann.
For a taste of The National Curriculum: A Critique, read Chris Berg in the Sunday Age, “National Curriculum gets our history badly wrong” and David Daintree in The Australian, “Christianity has role in learning“.
The book was launched in Melbourne on the 31st of January by Hon. Christopher Pyne, Shadow Minister for Education, Apprenticeships and Training.
