Abstract
'This is the first comprehensive review of Indigenous education in the Northern Territory (NT) since Learning Lessons (Collins, 1999). Since that time, another generation of Indigenous children has passed through the NT’s schools. Despite substantial investment and dedicated effort, this report suggests that in some areas the position for many Indigenous children is worse than it was at the time of the last review. The generation of children since Collins, especially in many remote schools, has failed to gain the benefits that Learning Lessons anticipated.' - Overview,
Notes
