Supporting Indigenous Students

The Department of Education and Training has developed a range of programs and strategies to improve Indigenous students’ access to, and participation in, all levels of schooling and training. The various strategies focus on:

• leadership and mentoring
• literacy and numeracy
• achievement of standards for Indigenous students

The Aboriginal Education and Training Directorate implements the Department's programs and strategies through its Operational Plan which sets the direction for Aboriginal education and training in our public schools.

The resources were developed from research and other information derived from the Australian Government Indigenous Education Strategic Initiatives Programme’s Strategic Results Projects.

The What Works. The Work Program website provides information about that effort, provides advice and information about how improvement can be achieved through the use of its online resources.
