Path+ways. Towards best practice in Indigenous access education: final report

In Australia, regional and remote Indigenous students are under‐represented in both higher education and vocational education and training. Access (or enabling) education programs are important in lifting participation rates and potentially in encouraging mobility between the sectors. However, there is a clear lack of evidence underpinning their development. This report summarises a 12‐month research project which sought to explore current practices in Indigenous access courses, particularly in the context of regional, dual‐sector universities. This project aimed to understand the practices and experiences of Indigenous access programs, with a view to designing a best‐practice framework and implementation statement.
