Review:
During the 1950's the first School of the Air opened, so that children living in remote areas of Australia, also called "The Bush," could receive an education. An HF radio receiver was the main form of communication between student, classmates and teacher. Parents also contributed by teaching some lessons and assisting with school assignments. The School of the Air provides students a Radio Transceiver and the Government funds the cost of their education. Improvements in technology helped to advance the curriculum over time. Students of the Alice Spring School of the Air are spread out over a total of 386 thousand square miles.
