dc.description.abstractOne of the predominant themes that pervades much of the literature on remote educationis one about Indigenous ‘disadvantage’. It has been defined specifically as‘the difference (or gap) in outcomes for Indigenous Australians when comparedwith non-Indigenous Australians’ (Steering Committee for the Review ofGovernment Service Provision 2012, p. xiv). The concept then extends to ‘closingthe gap’ (Council of Australian Governments 2009) in a general sense and in a morespecific educational context (What Works: The Work Program 2012). Combining‘Indigenous disadvantage’ with ‘remote’ adds a different meaning – those who livein remote communities are doubly ‘disadvantaged’ because of their geographiclocation and their race, and indeed some indexes of socio-economic advantage placedisproportionate weight on location and race.
