Extract

An Action Research Project into Secondary Education for Aboriginals in South Australia was initiated in 1972, and the appointment of five research teachers (project teachers) was approved by the Minister of Education at the end of 1972. In February 1973 the five project teachers took up their positions at Ceduna, Maitland and Meningie Area Schools and Glossop and Port Augusta High Schools. (In South Australia, “Area” schools cater for both primary and secondary students and “High” schools cater for secondary students only.) Those five schools were chosen because they had the highest percentage of Aboriginal students enrolled when the project began. Project teachers were appointed for a period of two years and their main task was to develop suitable strategies for increasing the achievement and motivation of Aboriginal students in secondary school.
