Introduction
The Aboriginal and/ Torres Strait Island people are considered to be the indigenous
population Australia and they have been inhabiting the country for a very long time. In the
present scenario aboriginal tribes inhabit almost every part of Australia and many tribes have
also taken to settle in different countries. However, Aboriginal Australian are not the same as
compared to the tribes of the Torres Strait Island in Queensland. These two tribes are
significantly different from each other considering their cultural and lingual background. The
report analyses how the Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students confront several
difficulties in coping with the evolving educational patterns and how their health conditions have
deteriorated over the past few years considering their indigenous life style patterns (Spiers &
Harris, 2015). It has also been highlighted that non-aboriginal tribes are healthier than the
indigenous tribes of Australia. Thus, this report emphasizes on the importance of the recreating
awareness across all educational institutions in curbing the barriers of multilingual difficulties of
indigenous students while pursuing their school level education. This report will create a sense of
awareness among the Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander parents to raise the health
condition of their wards by accepting structural changes in their normal lifestyle.
