EDUCATION JUSTICE LAB
YOUNG MOB ARE EXPERTS OF THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE
The Education Justice Lab backs the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people through the power of action research.
The Education Justice League is NIYEC’s youth-centred think tank focused on driving youth-action research, developing research partnerships and convening multi-disciplinary research collectives.
Our program model was co-designed with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people.
We are currently going deep on the area of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander school exclusion, check out our first report here.
THE SCHOOL EXCLUSION PROJECT RESEARCH REPORT
This report documents some of the ways that government schools across the Australian continent, from the nineteenth-century to the present, have excluded Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We use the term school exclusion to refer to government failure to ensure education access, including historical failures to provide access to schooling, as well as the contemporary use of disciplinary measures that remove a student from their normal learning environment.
The report will be launched on 21 March 2024.
