| Summary |
This review calls for change. Over the last two decades, a plethora of governmentpolicies have been developed to improve the educational outcomes of Indigenousstudents. These policies have, as yet, failed to reduce significantly the gap betweenthe educational achievements of Indigenous and non-Indigenous students inAustralia. This review examines the research evidence underpinning currentgovernment policy. It reviews and analyses existing educational research into theprecursors and concomitant factors that contribute to educational achievement forstudents generally and for Indigenous students. |
