Since its incorporation into the national curriculum as one of three cross-curriculum priorities in 2013, reflecting an intention to blend teaching about Asia into all subjects, Asia literacy has been the focus of hundreds of studies aiming to understand its effectiveness and impacts. However, despite the classroom being the key place where Asia literacy is negotiated between students, teachers, and the curriculum, a review of 800 studies on Asia literacy by scholars Christine Halse and Rebecca Cairns’ published between 1993-2018 found that most research has focused on Asia literacy’s place in curricula rather than its actual execution in schools. Furthermore, while some research has analysed how teachers implement Asia literacy, and more recently a smaller body of studies has focused on student learning about Asia, there has been a persistent absence of research focused on how students actually engage with Asia literacy.

Attitudes towards Chinese language and China Studies in both Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand have been affected by the deterioration in their respective bilateral relationships with China over the past few years. This has impacted Chinese language educators and students in a variety of ways. We conducted an online survey in 2022 to investigate aspects of the bilateral relationships that have impacted educators’ work and relationships as they attempted to negotiate challenges arising from the changing dynamics in the relationships. We present the main findings here

Almost every day we went to the rivers to play or to find food such as frogs, prawns and eels to take home for our family to eat. My older brother was better at catching them than me. He was always the first to catch something and by the time we went home he would have plenty of frogs and prawns wrapped in palm or banana leaves. We loved hanging out at the river and in the nearby forests in the clean air surrounded by the meditative sounds of flowing streams and bird song. We learnt to be hunters and gatherers by doing and we learnt to appreciate the beauty of our natural surroundings and the food that nature provided. One afternoon we saw a wild pig lying by the riverbank. Quickly and quietly my brother, who was about 10 at the time, approached the pig, grabbed its legs and jumped into the river with it to drown it. For several minutes there was a struggle as the pig tried to survive, but my brother won the battle. We came home proudly carrying the dead pig for our family to eat that night.

India’s under-investment in its health system has been long and persistent. The country has one of the lowest public expenditures on health (as a percentage of GDP) of any major economy. Public expenditure on health in India constitutes about one percent of its GDP per annum compared to three percent in China, four percent in Brazil, and 4.5 percent in South Africa.
