It is planned to invite hundreds of qualified teachers here from various middle-eastern countries to ensure the proper education of huge numbers of young immigrants. This proposal is considered vital in ensuring the type of education provided to newcomers exhibits sensitivity to the newcomer’s parent culture and traditions, their own languages, and their history and religion.
A government spokesman warned that a proportion of these new educators will have limited facility with the English language and little or no understanding of our culture and its values, and of our traditions and laws. Also, with the current unsettled political situation in the near east, it may prove difficult to perform the otherwise essential background checks on many such teachers.23
Given the expected unending tsunami of young arrivals displaced from violent, war-torn middle-eastern environments, the matter of establishing a solid growing foundation for immigrant education has been awarded the highest priority, a spokesman said . . . . It is suggested an allocation of $3.7 billion will be necessary in the short term, with a continuing commitment of at least a further $18 - $25 billion over the next ten years . . . . The sudden shortfall in qualified teachers means that in addition to Syria, Lebanon and Iraq, it will be necessary to expand the search for suitable willing teachers to Afghanistan, Iran, Libya, Morocco, Egypt and Tunisia.25
It is thought any attempt to thrust the young immigrant arrivals directly into the existing school structure would prove dangerous and counter-productive to their necessary long-term absorption into existing society. In many cases, integration will inevitably amount to the peaceful and willing integration of local populations into the culture of an overwhelming mass of newcomers. This is to be both expected and accepted the spokesman said.
A dedicated law reform commission is to be set up to pursue an across the board review of present law with a view to revising or revoking such laws as might clash with or offend the new social values and thereby create dangerous rifts in the new society. The cost of this survey has yet to be announced, as has the actual source of funding, but the whole review is promised to be thorough and painstaking . . . . and absolutely nothing will be permitted to ‘fall through the cracks’.26
We have a clear moral commitment here, a spokesman said, regardless of potential reduction in our accustomed living standard. Remember, she continued, many, many people in the world go cold and hungry, are denied proper education, they live on dirt floors, have no proper lavatory system and are forced to drink dangerously tainted water.27
When questioned, the spokesman said that, although it had yet to be decided how to pay for the education measures, this previously un-budgeted commitment of funds will likely be met through contraction of other government commitments, and by abolishing outright a whole range of existing government services.28
