This article will address government policies in education for Aboriginal Australians, with particular reference to post-coloniality in Australia and the ways in which Aboriginal education has been affected by the lasting damage of this. I aim to first discuss how colonisation manifested across Australia in relation to Aboriginals and how this went on to affect the ways education is carried out for them with brief reference to mission schools and their continued impact. I will also discuss the cultural effects this type of colonial education has on Australia, such as the imposition of Western education framework, and display this as an example of a cultural genocide. I will make reference to the shifts towards the inclusion of Aboriginal Australian culture and knowledge into education as well as offering some of my own policy suggestions which I believe may further this agenda. Intertwined within all that I have mentioned so far will be examples of the policies which have created this environment as this is the lens through which I will analyse the information.
