The Advisory Committee on Indigenous Education (ACIE) provides expert advice on the areas of Indigenous education most in need of research, and ways in which ACER expertise could be put to best use in these areas. The Committee is comprised of people with direct experience and expertise in the education of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. Members have been chosen to ensure wide state and territory representation, as well as representation from the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) and the Institute for Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies.
The specific brief of the Standing Committee is to provide members of the Board and senior management with expert advice on:
- the areas of Indigenous education most in need of research;
- ways in which ACER expertise can be put to best use in these areas;
- emerging research opportunities;
- groups of individuals with whom it may be useful to make contact or collaborate in research;
- possible sources of research funding to achieve these objectives;
- ways of enhancing the organisation's research capabilities - including suggestions for strategic research partnerships; and
- how ACER research finding might best be disseminated to have greatest impact.
