Dr Waldemar Niemotko delivered a lecture “Eyewitness accounts of Australian soldiers and POWs during the Second World War”, aimed at enhancement of school syllabi and text books on modern history. The revolution in education as proclaimed by the Federal Government would focus primarily on teaching English, Mathematics and History from kindergarten to year 12. At present, there are thirty four separate organisations and more than eighteen different senior history and English courses.
