Research Reports

Education, Training and Indigenous Futures

During 2007, at the initiative of the Department, the Ministerial Council on Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs (MCEETYA), through the Australian Education Systems Officials Committee (AESOC), commissioned a review of research undertaken by the Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research (CAEPR) and CAEPR Research Associates over the period 1990-2007.

The resulting report, Education, Training and Indigenous Futures CAEPR Policy Research: 1990-2007, is now complete and available for download: Education, Training and Indigenous Futures CAEPR Policy Research: 1990-2007 .
