This DEEWR project investigates ways to achieve the COAG attainment targets set for 2020. The targets are to: lift the Year 12 or equivalent attainment rate for 19 year-olds to 90 per cent; at least halve the gap for Indigenous students in Year 12 or equivalent attainment; and ensure more young people make a successful transition from school to full-time employment including further education and training.
