This project was undertaken by Youth Affairs Network Queensland, project partners and researchers from The University of Queensland and Griffith University.

Project Summary:

The aim of this project is to explore the effectiveness of alternative/flexible educational options available in Queensland for young people who have disengaged from mainstream schooling. It moves beyond the urban fringe to explore issues of educational disenfranchisement in rural, regional and remote areas of the State. This facilitates the development of future frameworks to augment existing provision of alternative pathways and flexible educational options in and beyond Queensland. It seeks to assess educational principles and practices that work in such sites so as to develop a framework of educational 'best practice' that may inform this sector.
