Welcome to Batchelor Institute


Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education was established by the Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education Act 1999 as ‘. . . an educational institution for the tertiary education of Indigenous people of Australia and the provision of other educational and training programs and courses, and facilities and resources for research and study, and for related purposes’.

A central task of the Institute is the provision of tertiary education and training programs which engage students in the development of appropriate responses to issues of cultural survival, maintenance, renewal and transformation, within the context of the national and international social, political and economic order.

BOTH-WAYS LEARNING

Indigenous students come to Batchelor as part of their life’s learning journey. They bring with them their own knowledge, language/s and culture and come as adults with previous life and education experience. They journey with Batchelor and continue to journey with their home community and family, at the same time.

Both-ways is a philosophy of education that ‘brings together Indigenous Australian traditions of knowledge and Western academic disciplinary positions and cultural contexts, and embraces values of respect, tolerance and diversity.’
