Education Engagement and Attainment Initiatives
The Education Engagement and Attainment Initiatives (EEAI) invests in ways to engage (or re-engage) young First Nations Australians with schooling and education, with the aim of improving their education outcomes. The EEAI aims to improve education outcomes for young First Nations people by:
- Improving relationships between First Nations parents and carers, families, young people and communities with schools,
- Overcoming or addressing barriers to participating in education,
- Helping communities value schooling and education,
- Using solutions and approaches proposed and designed by communities,
- Working collaboratively with other stakeholders including schools.
EEAI Providers are expected to work in partnership with families, parents, carers, young people, schools and community stakeholders to develop community-driven approaches to improve education engagement and attainment. EEAI services must be community led, involve communities in delivery, involve schools, be strengths-based, coordinate with other services, be flexible, and link to achievement in the classroom.
More information about the EEAI can be found in the EEAI Operational Framework.
EEAI is delivered in 84 sites across Australia:
