Background
Globally, evidence proves again and again that education is the single most important factor in creating long-lasting positive social change, and Cathy Freeman Foundation works to this ethos, that ‘Education Changes Lives’.
In Australia, research suggests that once Indigenous students graduate from Year 12, they have roughly the same opportunities in life as non-Indigenous students, that the ‘gap’ becomes negligent. It is the vision of CFF that every Indigenous student, urban, regional or remote attain this level of education in order to be empowered to make informed decisions about their life and the life of their families.
