The department recently concluded an Education Horizon round targeted to First Nations research.
Under this round, Queensland-based researchers were invited to submit a research proposal to the department that addressed 1 of the following questions:
- What factors are associated with educational success for First Nations students in Queensland state schools and how do each of these factors influence school attendance, achievement, retention and attainment?
- What role do schools play in culture and connection for First Nations students and how does this influence student outcomes?
Outcomes of this round are below.
