Project Goal: STEM
The NATSIHEC STEM project will identify effective policies and strategies to increase enrolments, participation and completion of Indigenous people in STEM-related higher education studies.
The project scope will include Natural and Physical Sciences, Engineering, and Information Technology – but also underpinning quantitative skills required for studies such as Management and Commerce, Health and Education.
