## Current Initiatives
- [REGIONAL, RURAL AND REMOTE](https://www.schoolsplus.org.au/current_initiative/regional-rural-and-remote/): The achievements of rural and remote \(R\&R\) students have lagged behind urban students for decades\. There is a persistent relationship between location and educational outcomes\.
- [CORE SKILLS: LITERACY \& NUMERACY](https://www.schoolsplus.org.au/current_initiative/literacy-numeracy/): Literacy and numeracy are the fundamental building blocks of a child’s education and key to a thriving society\. Projects to address this include professional development for teachers, workshops for parents and evidence\-based programs to improve the literacy and numeracy skills of students from Kindergarten through to high school\.
- [FIRST NATIONS](https://www.schoolsplus.org.au/current_initiative/embracing-first-nations-australians-culture/): To ensure that First Nations Australian students have the best chance to succeed, schools must embrace and celebrate their students' cultures\. Projects that successfully champion student culture often lead to increased engagement from students, their families and the community\. 
- [CORE SKILLS: STEM](https://www.schoolsplus.org.au/current_initiative/stem/): An estimated 75% of jobs in the fastest\-growing industries require workers with STEM skills, but the numbers of Australian students studying science and maths in high school are dropping\. This is further exacerbated by an inequality in access to technology\-based learning for students in low SES and remote areas\.
- [FLOOD RECOVERY APPEAL](https://www.schoolsplus.org.au/current_initiative/flood-recovery-appeal/): Your generosity will provide urgent relief to the school communities impacted by the floods in QLD and NSW\.
