A strong start for every Indigenous child
This Working Paper was developed to assist policy makers, education and Indigenous
leaders, as well as education practitioners, to better support Indigenous children’s
early learning and well-being. The paper focuses on early years policies and provision
in Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia and Canada. It sets out a synthesis of evidence
on children’s early development, with a particular focus on the conditions and approaches
that support positive outcomes for Indigenous children. The Working Paper then outlines
a set of promising initiatives that seek to create positive early learning environments
for Indigenous children. Drawing on the available evidence and promising approaches,
the paper presents a framework for strengthening Indigenous children’s early learning
and well-being.
