Who Can Make a Difference? Everybody Can! Sharing Information on Indigenous Educational Success--A Case Study from Australia.
Sykes, Roberta
Cultural Survival Quarterly, v22 n1 p46-49 Spr 1998
The Black Women's Action in Education Foundation is an Australian volunteer group that sponsors Aboriginal women's higher education overseas. Graduates return to act as mentors and help raise funds. Their success has galvanized some Australian institutions to look at their own recruitment methods and inappropriate courses and has led to the graduation of some Aborigines at postgraduate level.
