“…Relatedly, for both Indigenous students in secondary school and those who have entered university, economic forms of support, such as scholarships and industry partnerships, have been identified as incentives, with knowledge of these schemes similarly found to be important (Hossain et al 2008;Kinnane et al 2014). Alternative entry pathways to university were also identified (Bandias et al 2014;Chirgwin 2014;Fleet et al 2012;Fredericks et al 2015;Kinnane et al 2014;Shah and Widin 2010) but, interestingly, only within studies that focused on Indigenous students already enrolled in university. A number of these studies suggest that students have utilised these routes to gain access to university, although no studies addressed school students' knowledge of these avenues.…”

“…Relatedly, positive experiences in the classroom (Bandias et al 2014;Hossain et al 2008;Shah and Widin 2010) and experiences at university that increase selfesteem and confidence (Bandias et al 2014;Plater 2013) have been identified as The participation of Australian Indigenous students… 333 vital for some students. Access to appropriate information, infrastructure, and resources within the university has also been highlighted (Barney 2013;Hossain et al 2008;Oliver et al 2013Oliver et al , 2015Usher et al 2005), facilitated through support services and programs (Barney 2013;Fleet et al 2007;Hossain et al 2008;Morgan 2001;Oliver et al 2013;Shah and Widin 2010;Usher et al 2005).…”

“…Moreover, the flexibility within degrees, in the form of block-or mixed-mode attendance, or distance/online education, have been identified as positive structures enhancing support for students and taking into account personal and family commitments (Fleet et al 2012;Gibb 2006;Oliver et al 2013;Sharrock and Lockyer 2008;Turnbull 2014;Usher et al 2005).

The participation of Australian Indigenous students in higher education: a scoping review of empirical research, 2000–2016

While access to higher education has increased for Indigenous Australians, participation and completion rates remain lower than those of nonIndigenous Australians. A sound evidence base is needed to ground equity initiatives if they are to address the specific needs of Indigenous students. This paper presents the results of a scoping review of empirical research focusing on the participation of Indigenous students in higher education. The purpose of the scoping review was to synthesise empirical research on aspirations for, and barriers and enablers to, higher education that were published between 2000 and 2016 (n = 57), and identify areas where further research is needed. Despite a recent increase in research on this topic, relatively little attention has been paid to Indigenous students' aspirations while they are at school. We argue that future research should take account of school students' aspirations for higher education, including primary school students; the similitude of barriers and enablers across the student life cycle; differences within Indigenous community and among Indigenous students; and, the insights emerging from Indigenous methodologies and scholarship.

“…Universities that offer indigenous studies globally have special centres well equipped with amenities required to host and deliver relevant programs (Bandias et al, 2014). For example, The University of New England has the Oorala Aboriginal Centre, which is a teaching, research and study support centre for internal and external Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.…”

Indigenous knowledge is multidimensional encompassing the beliefs, practices, arts, spirituality and other forms of traditional and cultural experiences that belong to Indigenous communities globally. In order to protect, preserve and recognize the knowledge of the Indigenous people of Fiji, known as the iTaukei, the University of Fiji has established a Centre for iTaukei Studies. The Centre apart from its cultural dimension has adopted the western system of disseminating knowledge through publications, text books and teacher education programmes. While maintaining the importance of preserving the originality of the Indigenous cultural identity and practices, the paper highlights how the infusion of the cultures of the Indigenous people and that of the Indo-Fijians, who have co-existed together for over 100 years, has shaped the unique multicultural landscape in Fiji.
