TOP principals will be sent into indigenous schools to coach underperforming principals and demand change, under the Rudd Government's latest push to lift education standards in Aboriginal communities.
The Government will also fund the schools that are falling behind - provided they take steps to improve attendance rates, teaching, or literacy and numeracy results, or force parents to become more involved in their children's education.
