abstract: 'Education is one of the most powerful instruments for reducing poverty
and inequality, and lays a foundation for sustained economic growth.
Aboriginal peoples of Australia experience `overwhelming'' disadvantages
across every indicator of social and economic well being when compared
with non-Aboriginal peoples. This disadvantage is experienced across all
sectors of education, and although Aboriginal students are participating
at high rates in vocational education and training, their pass rates and
qualification outcomes remain well below those of non-Aboriginal
Australians.
This paper maps the participation and outcomes for Aboriginal desert
dwellers in the vocational education and training sector and relates
these to factors such as: (1) compulsory school access, (2) remote area
labour markets, (3) the state of housing and infrastructure on discrete
desert settlements, and (4) the policy and program initiatives
influencing land tenure, income security and labour force status.
The provision of education services across desert regions epitomises the
tensions generated when the drivers of desert living - remoteness,
dispersed sparse and mobile populations, variable climate, geography,
cultures, languages and histories - interact with the differing factors
that shape mainstream vocational education. Although innovations in
program delivery more consistent with learner needs and aspirations can
and do emerge, they are often framed as pilot projects or materialise in
parallel program interventions such as youth work or land care. This
paper explores the nature of these tensions and identifies the
characteristics of educational interventions that can improve outcomes
for Aboriginal desert dwellers no matter where they choose to live.'
