THE SCHOOL EXCLUSION PROJECT
THE SCHOOL EXCLUSION PROJECT RESEARCH REPORT
The School Exclusion Project Research Report documents some of the ways in which that government schools across the Australian continent, from the nineteenth-century to the present, have excluded Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. This report has been written through an analyses of archival records, historiography, legislation, and policies. Together, the state and territory timelines in this report provide the first comprehensive historical overview of the exclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from schools.
This report was developed by a team of multi-disciplinary researchers, Samara Hand, Dr Beth Marsden, Dr. Archie Thomas & Dr. Mati Keynes.
This is the first research report produced as part of NIYEC Education Justice League an initiative designed to back the voices and agency of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people through the power of action research.
