Some were anxious about the problems of white back-lash
associated with aid given to Aborigines, and were hesitant about
singling out Aborigines for any special attention.

Others upheld a view of Australian society that precluded
identification of a student as -a member of
any ethnic group.

•To summarise, there was a reluctance in some situations for personnel

to identify Aboriginal students in any way that might be observed by
others.

This resulted in certain limitations which will be discussed

fully below √ On the other hand, this limitation had the positive
effect of providing insights concerning non-Aboriginal theorising
about Aboriginal identity.

7.24 Size of population

Keeves (1982:172) stated that in 198], for all South Australia,

there were only 33 Aboriginal students undertaking studies at year 12
level at a standard which would permit them (when, and if, studies were
completed successfully) to proceed to a post-secondary institution.
He found that only 35 per cent of Aboriginal students proceeded to
Year 11, compared with 77 per cent of the general population.

The numbers of Aboriginal students in total is not large .

At any one school the numbers will be small.

However, the smallness of numbers is part of the Aboriginal
b-

social reality and must be accepted as a major constraint.
