By this approach, the issues regarding the local school attendance that have reducedimportantly since 12 months can be resolved. In order to find out males’ ratio attendancewhich has been dropped out Rights-based approach is helpful in developing Aboriginaland Torres Strait Islander community.Moreover, the agency will help in stoppage of terrible activities that is performed within the countryand lastly that will develop community.3.The issue identified in the scenario is about decreasing levels of school attendance, particularly foradolescent males.
