Radical Preparedness: Educators, epidemics, and experience-based planning for remote schools

Published 04 December 2020

Youth Empowered Towards Independence (YETI) is inviting comments on their COVID-19 discussion paper through which they hope to contribute to policy development and service planning to meet the needs of remote school aged Indigenous youth in a COVID-19-changed world.

news

The paper summarises key issues raised by educators and other service providers relevant to anticipating and responding to those changes, based on experience of the COVID-19 impacts on remote communities and schools through 2020.

YETI particularly encourages those with first-hand experience in remote Indigenous settings to comment on, add to, and critique these findings. Respondents’ anonymity will be respected in collated feedback that they will attempt to make available in a timely way so as to inform service planning through 2021. In the context of limited evidence, YETI need to listen to voices with experience and they encourage you to add yours.

Please download the Questionnaire, add your thoughts and opinions, and return to YETI Program Manager Helen Travers at helen@yeti.net.au
