A Very Young Aboriginal Population
• Over half the population is under 20.
• The majority of Aboriginal people are in or heading towards school.
• By 2020, 20% of our school population will be Aboriginal.
• Major implications for the Education system.• How do we respond? “Your community will
become a more important resource?”
