My name is Edmund Kenneth O'Loughlin.
I was born at Point Pearce, 1938.

I belong to the Narrunga and Kaurna people. 

Educational opportunities to us were limited, we weren't 
encouraged to go on because the policies were that -  
educate them to a certain level that is primarily reading and writing skills,
beyond that secondary education was not even considered.
By the late '50s opportunities improved,  
kids were encouraged then to go into Adelaide to do their secondary 
education - boys going to the tech colleges and girls going to 
girls' colleges. So this provided the basic education for girls 
and boys to go into other areas other than labouring.
