There is another education issue and that may be the main one with the louts in places like Alice Springs - attending school at all.

"In 2013 the state-wide attendance rate for Aboriginal students was 76.9 per cent compared with 92.3 per cent for non-Aboriginal students. The primary attendance rate for Aboriginal students was 80.7 per cent compared to 93.7 per cent for non-Aboriginal students, while the Aboriginal attendance rate in secondary years was 67.2 per cent compared to 89.1 per cent for non-Aboriginal students".

The problem being parents who do not insist on their children attending - in one state they paid parents for each day a child turned up at school.
