At least you've considered a solution which is more than can be said of some of the other critics of present policy who contribute to this thread.
A western would standard education would in itself be a enough of a product for people smugglers to sell and would also encourage separation of families (children first, parents later).
There's no easy solutions to this and without a universal approach, a product remains available for people smugglers to pedal.
It's not a question of what I want, it's a question of not giving people smugglers a product to sell.The final result is still offshore settlement with no ability to remain in Australia or for family reunion in Australia. If you don't want them setting foot in this country at all, then the children could be released and educated in the country where they are being processed.

You are at least in favour of offshore processing and resettlement however I'm not sure exactly what you mean by releasing them in that context.

We might eventually see this headline:
"Wind Surfer Carrying Lone Asylum Seeker Intercepted Off Cocos Islands"
Must have been a small boat - there were only four of them.

"Wind Surfer Carrying Lone Asylum Seeker Intercepted Off Cocos Islands"
AUSTRALIAN authorities stopped an asylum-seeker boat west of Christmas Island more than 10 days ago and gave four Sri Lankans back to their government in a swift high-seas transfer.
Labor was quick to attack the move, questioning how thoroughly the refugee claims of the asylum-seekers were assessed, given that the process took place very quickly and on water....
The opposition’s immigration spokesman, Richard Marles, said the government needed to provide an assurance Australia was meeting international obligations and that people were not returned to a situation where they faced harm.
“We also have concerns about the fairness and thoroughness of the assessment of asylum-seeker claims made while at sea,” he said.
Let him in !
He could be our next world champion
More likely a IS candidate.
Please pass this on to everyone you know to help ensure our country is not taken over by radical non-Australians!!!
How will this letter help?
What is anyone who receives this letter going to do about the problem?
The first thing they ought to do is help make sure that Labor/Greens don't get to be in charge of border control again.
Holding Children for lengthy periods of time does not deter people smugglers or stop the boats.
Gillian Triggs today at a Senate committee hearing,
Perhaps not in isolation but she would also know that such a weakness in the deterrence framework would be an open door to people smugglers.

Child abuse as deterrence then?
So you think what happens on Manus Island is child abuse?
Four Christian children were beheaded by ISIS militants in Iraq for refusing to denounce Jesus and convert to Islam.

Has Triggs said anything about this? Perhaps the ABC should ask her a question about it?
I think you're right bintang: Triggs endorses the beheading of children by ISIS. I can't understand why the Senators didn't press her on this point.
Yes I think that what was done to children in detention amounts in many, many cases to child abuse.
Your sarcasm falls short of being witty and is just flawed thinking.
Of course, if asked the question, Triggs would not endorse the beheading of children by ISIS but after answering the question she would go back to condemning soft targets such as the Abbott Government rather than use her energy to condemn a hard target like ISIS.
