Extract

I am honoured by your invitation to present a Keynote Address at the 19th National Conference of the Australian Association of Special Education, and particularly pleased to have the opportunity to return to Darwin. I last visited here in 1990, to attend the UNESCO South East Asia and South Pacific Sub-Regional Conference “Education for All”. In 1991 I left Australia to undertake an AIDAB (now known as AusAID), project in the South Pacific region. So I have had the opportunity to view at first hand the progress that has been made towards the UNESCO goal of “Education for AH”, in a number of Pacific countries, during the past four years.
