   They're subsidized under a modality that keeps them "wards of the State",   
   which amounts to just enough charity that they can't afford to do anything.   
   So life out on a lot of the deep-bush reserves and settlements is pretty   
   grim and it amounts to real hardship for folk from there, let alone someone   
   brought in to teach.

   I'd teach people Maths, Language(s), Science and Arts.  That's called   
   a "Liberal" education.  Practicum such as taxation and "economics"   
   should be left to the private interests concerned with them.  Similarly   
   for "civics", which sounds to me a lot like State Religion despite   
   all its seeming good intent.
