CANBERRA， March 1 (Xinhua) -- Australian universities have for the first time agreed to set quota targets for admitting Indigenous students into tertiary education in an effort to "close the gap" of Indigenous disadvantage.

The strategy， agreed to by the nation's tertiary education committee， Universities Australia， includes goals to ensure Indigenous Australians are enrolling in university degrees at a rate 50 percent higher than non-Indigenous Australians， to achieve equal retention rates (reduce dropouts) by 2025， and to achieve equal degree completion rates by 2028.

Universities Australia chief executive Belinda Robinson said lifting retention and degree completion rates would be a challenge that universities around the country are willing to grapple with.

"We've seen really good growth rates. But we do see Indigenous students dropping out at a much greater rate than non-Indigenous students，" Robinson told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) on Wednesday.

Meanwhile the dean of Aboriginal engagement at the University of South Australia， Peter Buckskin， said the strategy had been discussed among leading Australian universities for some time， and laying out the strategy for all to see was the next crucial step.

"We think (Australian universities) are now on a trajectory of getting this right，" Buckskin told the ABC.

"I think higher education is not an easy space to work in when you're small in numbers."

"We've got to ensure that Australian universities see Aboriginal cultures and perspectives as really important core business of the university."

According to statistics， Indigenous Australians currently make up 1.6 percent of all Australian university enrollments despite making up 2.7 percent of the "working age" population.

Britain and the EU vowed to get to the "heart of the matter" as they launched fresh Brexit talks in Brussels on Monday, even as bitter infighting gripped the British government.

Brexit minister David Davis met EU negotiator Michel Barnier for a second round of talks ahead of Britain's historic withdrawal from the bloc, scheduled for March 2019.

But in London there was fresh turmoil as weakened Prime Minister Theresa May prepared to urge her warring ministers to end damaging leaks against each other over Brexit.

"Now it's time to get down to work and make this a successful negotiation," Davis told reporters as Barnier welcomed him to the headquarters of the European Commission.

During four days of talks the two sides hope to make progress on key issues surrounding Britain's withdrawal jordan 6 gatorade green for sale , including citizens' rights and its exit bill, so that negotiations can move on to discuss a future trade deal later this year.

"For us it's incredibly important we now make good progress, that we negotiate through this and identify the differences so we can deal with them and identify the similarities so that we can reinforce them," added Davis.

Barnier, who has repeatedly called on Britain to set out a full divorce strategy jordan 6 gatorade green , said they needed to "examine and compare our respective positions in order to make good progress."

"We'll now delve into the heart of the matter," Barnier, a former French foreign minister, told reporters.

Davis, however Men's Nike Air Jordan 6 Retro Gatorade NRG G8RD Like Mike Pine Green Orange For Sale , stayed only a few hours before returning to Britain for parliamentary business, officials said. He will come back to Brussels on Thursday for more talks with Barnier and a news conference.
