The Australian Government has committed $10 million over four years to implement the program in a network of remote schools in WA with a high proportion of First Nations students. The program will have a focus on targeted teaching practices (including explicit instruction), regular school attendance, and parental engagement in student education.
The program increased the number of participating schools from 15 schools in 2024 to 23 schools in 2026.
