New program helps Indigenous students aim high

A new pilot program will help young Indigenous high school students set their sights on university. The Indigenous Academic Enrichment Program (IAEP) will provide residential program and ongoing support for Indigenous Year 9 and 10 students, as well as teacher training, in schools across Victoria and Southern New South Wales. The main focus of the IAEP is helping disadvantaged Indigenous high school students by developing their academic skills across a broad range of disciplines, to increase their readiness for university.
