Description
Research was conducted with 40 students and staff who live, work and study in tertiary education in remote locations in the West Kimberley region. Using interviews and focus groups, the project addressed three overarching questions: How do remote Aboriginal students experience studying at or via a university campus? What are the key enablers and constraints to West Kimberley students’ successful participation and engagement with tertiary education? What strategies might assist Aboriginal students living and studying in communities and towns in remote locations, to transition successfully through VET, into tertiary and/or through post graduate education?
