    Description

    Early school leaving, low literacy levels, social disengagement and substance abuse among young people are crippling many remote Indigenous communities. Yet if such communities are to ameliorate their economic disadvantage and political marginalization they will require individuals who have the learning and literacy skills to shape their own futures. This project aims to produce new approaches and models to re-engage early school leavers and disaffected young adults with learning and literacy acquisition outside of school and throughout the lifespan. The outcomes will include a series of scholarly papers and a Lifespan Learning and Literacy Handbook for Indigenous communities across the country.
