Indigenous Education Data

Indigenous Education Data
Due to public interest, the following section details a small sample of the data the ABS can provide on the topic of Indigenous education and training.

Schools Australia, 2009
Schools Australia, 2009 (cat. no. 4221.0) includes published tables on the numbers and types of enrolment (whether full-time, part-time, or full-time equivalents) of Indigenous students. The publication also underlines issues with collecting data on the Indigenous identity of students, differences in numbers of ‘not stated’ records and the differences between the methods of collecting data between states and territories, which can lead to data that is difficult to compare across jurisdictions.
