Abstract
With the nationalising of curriculum, teacher standards and measures of student literacy and numeracyachievement, the value and relative success of remote community education is framed within ahomogenous, metro-centric understanding of achievement and success.Increasing and (at times) competing system pressures and policy demands have amplified pressure topursue educational achievement in western terms, relative to the rest of the Australian population. But isthis pressure achieving the desired outcomes in academic, social and political terms, or indeed from theperspective of increasingly marginalised voices of remote communities themselves?
