Australian universities are failing to attract Pasifika students to study on their campuses. It’s a missed opportunity when almost 40 per cent of the Australian population with Pacific Islander ancestry are aged 19 years and under, and 15,000 Pasifika people aged 15-24. Pacific Islander communities are also growing at a rate higher than the Australian general population.
UTS is seeking to address this by creating a community of UTS Pasifika university students, alumni, Pasifika professionals and Industry experts who are engaged, connected, and committed to seeing successful educational outcomes for Pasifika young people in Australia.Pacific Perspectives Brunch – Launch of the Young Pacific Women’s Collective Report September 2023
