yopinion - Indigenous Education - Is affirmative action the way forward?

Affirmative action is often suggested as a means to close the gap in levels of education between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Yopinion spoke to representatives of The Scots' College to find out more about their Indigenous Education Program. We also asked Generation One volunteer Johanna Kerin what she thinks of this contentious issue.

@vhuassie considering ziggy played mostly 3rds in year 11 and will most likely play 2nds later this year, scots didnt give him a scholarship for his rugby skills even though hes a pretty decent player. theres a fair few indigenous boys in years 7-9 at scots now too so yeah. the indigenous program is only really getting off the ground now

Ziggy is a great young man. Scots though may not have considered him if it wasn't for his rugby skills. This was why he started so late. You make the most difference when you bring a student in to a school early at year 7 and not when they can win you a rugby title in years 10 onwards.
