Description: | The apparent retention rates from years 7/8, to year 10 and year 12, by Indigenous status. |
Rationale: | Successful completion of Year 12 is critical to improving the economic and social status of Indigenous peoples. Higher levels of education improve employment prospects, health, and wellbeing. Improvements in retention rates are crucial to the achievement of headline education outcomes such as completion of Years 10 and 12, with the latter being a major component of the attainment of Year 12 or Certificate II. |

Disaggregation data elements: | |
Comments: | Required disaggregation: National, state/territory, geo-location by Indigenous status
Available disaggregation: National, state/territory by Indigenous status Most recent data available for 2010 CRC baseline report: 2008 At this stage, data are not available by geo-location. A number of factors may affect the accuracy of this measure, including repeating students, migration, inter-sector transfers and enrolment policies (such as different age/grade structures across jurisdictions). |
