Abstract
Australian universities are calling on the federal government to uncap university places for all Indigenous students.
This would mean any Indigenous applicant, provided they met the entrance requirements, could go to university. Currently, places are only uncapped for Indigenous Australians living in regional and remote areas.
The proposal is part of a broader push by peak body Universities Australia to increase Indigenous participation in higher education.
Is it a good idea? What is needed to boost Indigenous participation at university?
