Australia Links Aboriginal Aid to School Attendance

澳大利亞把對(duì)原住居民的援助和上課出勤率聯(lián)系起來(lái)

From VOA's Learning English, this is the Education Report.

這里是美國(guó)之音慢速英語(yǔ)教育報(bào)道。

Parents in South Australia’s Aboriginal lands may lose some of their financial aid if they do not send their children to school. New rules link school attendance with payments for parents living in poverty.

如果在南澳大利亞的父母不送他們的孩子去上學(xué)，那么他們的土地可能會(huì)失去一些財(cái)政援助。新規(guī)定把學(xué)校上課出勤率和對(duì)貧困家長(zhǎng)的補(bǔ)助聯(lián)系起來(lái)。

Warren Mundine is Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s top advisor on issues concerning Aboriginals, native Australians. He disagrees with connecting school attendance and aid. Instead, he urges the government to find ways to improve attendance without punishing parents.

沃倫·穆丁是托尼·阿博特在澳洲原住居民問(wèn)題上的頂級(jí)顧問(wèn)。他并不贊同將學(xué)校上課出勤率和援助聯(lián)系起來(lái)，相反，他敦促政府在不懲罰父母的基礎(chǔ)上，來(lái)提高學(xué)生上課出勤率。

“Now, I know governments find that punitive measures need to happen but I think they’re really a last resort.”

“我知道政府認(rèn)為現(xiàn)在必須采取懲罰措施，但是我認(rèn)為這一招應(yīng)是最后萬(wàn)不得已的手段。”

Mr. Mundine says the situation can change if tribal leaders support education.

穆丁稱(chēng)，如果各部落領(lǐng)袖支持教育，這種情況就可以改善。

“We need to work with parents and we need to work with communities because we are making a massive cultural change here.”

“我們需要同家長(zhǎng)合作，同社區(qū)合作，因?yàn)槲覀円谶@里進(jìn)行巨大的教育文化改革。”

But other officials say they believe the threat of stopping aid will force families to take education more seriously.

但是其他官員認(rèn)為，威脅家長(zhǎng)要停止援助，會(huì)迫使各個(gè)家庭更加重視教育問(wèn)題。

In South Australia state, only fifty percent of children stay in school after the age of fifteen. In some areas, as much as ninety percent of Aboriginal children struggle to read and write.

在南澳大利亞只有50%的孩子在15歲之后繼續(xù)留在學(xué)校上學(xué)，在一些地區(qū)，90%多的原住居民兒童都難以讀和寫(xiě)。

The state government says it has special programs for Aboriginal children. It says students work with their parents and teachers to develop a personal learning plan. The plan is re-examined each year. Local officials also say the public schools provide special workers -- called mentors -- who work individually with Aboriginal students who need extra help.

州政府表示，他們有針對(duì)原住居民兒童的特殊項(xiàng)目，學(xué)生與父母及老師一起合作，制定學(xué)生個(gè)人學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃，該學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃每年都要進(jìn)行審查。當(dāng)?shù)毓賳T還稱(chēng)，公立學(xué)校將提供特殊員工——被稱(chēng)為導(dǎo)師，由他們單獨(dú)幫助那些需要額外幫助的原住居民兒童。

At year seven, Aboriginal students can join a program called Enter for Success. It helps students deal with the change to high school. The program is designed to improve student attendance at school. The students can choose which high school to attend. School officials say students receive support in reaching the goals on their individual learning plans.

在七年級(jí)時(shí)，原住居民學(xué)生可以參加一個(gè)被稱(chēng)為成功入學(xué)(Enter for Success)的項(xiàng)目，該項(xiàng)目會(huì)幫助學(xué)生應(yīng)對(duì)高中的變化。該項(xiàng)目旨在提高學(xué)生出勤率，學(xué)生們可以選擇去哪所高中就讀。學(xué)校官員稱(chēng)，學(xué)生會(huì)獲得實(shí)現(xiàn)其個(gè)人學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃的支持。

The state of Western Australia also has special programs for Aboriginal and other ethnic groups. The state operates a program called Focus Schools. The program centers on basic skills like reading, writing and numbers skills. Sixty-seven of these public Focus Schools serve students in 79 very rural areas. Most are primary schools. Some students on the secondary level study with Internet teaching programs. The state’s minister for education and child development said the Focus Schools program also includes 118coaches working with students in 134 schools.

西澳大利亞也有針對(duì)原住居民和其他民族的特殊項(xiàng)目，該州管理了一個(gè)被稱(chēng)為“重點(diǎn)學(xué)校”的項(xiàng)目。該項(xiàng)目主要鍛煉學(xué)生們的閱讀、寫(xiě)作和數(shù)字技能等基本技能。有67所這樣的公立重點(diǎn)學(xué)校服務(wù)于79個(gè)農(nóng)村地區(qū)，其中多數(shù)是小學(xué)。一些中學(xué)學(xué)生通過(guò)網(wǎng)絡(luò)教學(xué)進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)。該州的教育和兒童發(fā)展部部長(zhǎng)稱(chēng)，重點(diǎn)學(xué)校項(xiàng)目還包括了118位在134所學(xué)校同學(xué)生們一起合作的教練。

About 670,000 indigenous peoples live in Australia.

大約有67萬(wàn)原住居民生活在澳大利亞。
