However, 22% of the population in the region has not completed Year 10, compared to only 16% in the NT overall. Higher education qualifications are held by the same proportion of the Central region’s population as they are in the NT population. The population in Alice Springs sub-region has a higher level of education than those in other sub-regions. Petermann sub-region again outperformed the others with the proportion of its population having non-school qualifications double that of other areas outside Alice Springs. About 16% of the population in the Hanson sub-region did not attend school at all. This proportion was also high in Sandover (9%). In other sub-regions, attendance was better but the levels of attainment were low. In Tanami sub-region 62% of the population had not reached Year 10. More than a third of the population in the Central region has a non-school qualification. The majority of these are Certificate III qualifications (33%) followed by Bachelor degrees (26%). REPORT
