A specialist in Indigenous education says Australia needs to stop sending young and inexperienced teachers to work in remote Aboriginal communities.
Professor Lester-Irabinna Rigney says the teachers are ill equipped to deal with what are often the most challenging conditions they could face and the quality of education is suffering as a consequence.
His views are in line with a United Nations report which calls on governments worldwide to send the best teachers to the most challenging parts of their countries to overcome inequalities in learning.
