Member for Durack Melissa Price is calling for submissions on how to improve educational outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.

Submissions will be submitted to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Indigenous Affairs’ inquiry into education outcomes for Indigenous students.

Ms Price, who is a member of this committee, said the committee will inquire into the key aspects of education opportunities and outcomes for Indigenous students up to school leaving age.

“This is an opportunity for people to have their say on how the Federal Government can improve things such as access to schooling, outcomes of pre-schooling and the provision of boarding school education,” Ms Price said.

“This inquiry will allow people to share their views on the benefits of different school models for Indigenous students in all parts of Australia.

“All submissions must be made by Friday October 30.”

Submissions can be made by emailing: IndigenousAffairs.reps@aph.gov.au
