Popis: In October 2015, the Office of the Pro Vice-Chancellor Indigenous Leadership at Charles Darwin University hosted a National Forum on Indigenous pathways and transitions into higher education within the Australian Centre for Indigenous Knowledges and Education precinct in Darwin. This was funded by the Australian Government through the Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program (HEPPP). The theme of the forum was 'Engagement at the interface: Indigenous pathways and transitions into higher education'. Some of the presentations were developed into chapters for this book and explicitly address Indigenous pathways, transition and participation in higher education. The majority of chapters relate to Australia, although some international contributions from both Canada and the USA are included. Issues raised by the authors are collated around four broad themes: (1) policy and systems; (2) engagement; (3) pathways; and (4) transitions, participation and success. The focus is pragmatic, drawing on evidence based on real-world experiences and chapters reflect the different approaches and strategies currently being adopted. The primary evidence base used throughout the book relates to lessons learned and outcomes achieved in Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Programs (HEPPP).
