The Challenge

“Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students constitute a very small cohort of students who go on to participate in STEM disciplines in university settings. The challenges in increasingly higher numbers of students in university-level studies have been the level of achievements in the school system in core disciplines like Math and Science.” …… “James Cook University’s (JCU) STEM work at the Indigenous Education and Research Centre (IERC) is to help surmount these challenges.” The project between JCU and CABAH involves 1600+ Prep to Year 12 Indigenous students across seventeen schools in remote area of Australia. (IERC, JCU 2017)

WillowSoft is engaged by JCU IERC and schools to collect and analyse the data related to student performance in STEM disciplines as part of this research project. WillowSoft is also measuring the overall impact of the project on the academic outcomes of Indigenous students across multiple schools.
