MK1 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Sure, let them build their own schools. They'll be funded by the islamic version of God botherers and teach intolerance. Just what we need over our northern borders, ey Chooka? Irrespective of Australia building schools for Indonesia does not mean Australia will have any control over the curriculum taught in the end otherwise the same result is likely to occur as in the Southern Thailand where Thai teachers become the target of separatist’s.

Irrespective of Australia building schools for Indonesia does not mean Australia will have any control over the curriculum taught in the end otherwise the same result is likely to occur as in the Southern Thailand where Thai teachers become the target of separatist’s. AusAID’s Basic Education Program led to the building and fit-out of more than 2000 state schools, mostly in poor and remote parts of Indonesia. These offer alternatives to the conservative ideas taught in many peasant/madrassas and give children a chance to sit national exams. This program covered the period 2005 – 2011 & as far as I am aware, to date, no Islamic extremist attacks on the schools or staff. http://aid.dfat.gov.au/publications/pages/9890_5853_7042_3555_1061.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZEMADE Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Pm Tony Abbott yesterday told Indonesia to get over the spying episode as it was not doing the relations between the two countries any good. The Deputy has already addressed the issue and no other apology would be made from Canberra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sing_Sling Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Whew, I for one am glad that we are taking the arrogant role in our relations with our neighbours . . . these little brown people need to know that WE (all 25 million of us) know what's what . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
