This project aims to develop and evaluate an incentive-based program to increase the school attendance and performance of Indigenous students to help alleviate current inequalities between Indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. Only 43 per cent of Indigenous Australians graduate from high school compared to 78 per cent for non-Indigenous Australians. The study plans to investigate whether high value rewards (e.g. driving licence instruction) are effective in incentivising year 11 and 12 students. It also aims to examine whether the way incentives are provided — ex-post as traditionally done or ex-ante in the form of a trust-based contract — increase high school completion rates of Indigenous students where previous incentive schemes have failed.

该项目旨在制定和评估一项基于奖励的计划，以提高土著学生的出勤率和成绩，帮助缓解目前土著和非土著澳大利亚人之间的不平等。只有43%的土著澳大利亚人从高中毕业，而非土著澳大利亚人的这一比例为78%。该研究计划调查高价值奖励（例如驾驶执照指导）是否有效激励11年级和12年级的学生。它还旨在审查提供奖励的方式- -传统上的事后或事前以信托合同的形式- -是否提高了以前奖励计划失败的土著学生的高中毕业率。
