Education is key to increasing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander pathways to success. It’s the foundation that can lead to increased wellbeing across all other aspects of life. Aspire to be Deadly Program focuses on the support required to deliver equitable education outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Aspire outcomes target:

Increasing attendance and school engagement.

Aspire Schools Program is designed to support school attendance. Linking increased attendance at school with participation in Aspire Schools Programs provides positive incentives. Students do better at school when their families and community talk about school and the importance of going every day. Aspire Schools Program and Mentors incorporate this conversation in program delivery.

Increasing literacy and numeracy attainment, particularly in remote areas.

Aspire Schools Program incorporates a student mentor program in part designed to help the students improve literacy and numeracy. In 2018 about one in four Indigenous children in Years 5, 7 and 9, and one in five in Year 3, remained below national minimum standards in reading and between 17 to 19 per cent of Indigenous students were below national minimum standards in numeracy.
