Introduction
Racism discrimination in Australia harms the Aboriginal community in terms of education, economics and culture. The issue is influenced by systemic racism and its stereotypes of non-indigenous communities (Carson et al., 2020). It is included that Indigenous groups in Australia face a lack of educational facilities despite policies and reforms by the government. The discrimination for Indigenous children leads to an educational gap in their careers. Discrimination in education for Indigenous people is influenced by prejudiced attitudes by teachers or unequal access to educational resources. It impacts their overall well-being and minimises career development opportunities for Indigenous children. Indigenous families face discrimination in health policies and mental health support. Australia has a lack of infrastructure for Indigenous health support and is also going through poverty its life. Social exclusion and minimal support from non-indigenous people lead to discrimination for the Indigenous community. Racial discrimination is a serious issue for Indigenous groups in Australia because it highlights inequality and underdevelopment for Indigenous children. It means children from Indigenous communities do not achieve academic success in their careers and are isolated from modern society. The discrimination factor also minimises their cultural representation within Australia. Lack of education for Indigenous children reduces their power to extend their cultural identity beyond the educational sector, and it impacts their mental or physical health. It significantly contributes to lowering long-term outcomes for Indigenous people, as the issue facilitates a cycle of disadvantage. Addressing the discrimination for Indigenous children in early education is necessary to reduce the negative impact on society. It includes equal educational rights and cultural norms to improve their well-being.

Elias, A., Mansouri, F., & Paradies, Y. (2021). Racism in Australia today (pp. 169-209). Singapore: Palgrave Macmillan.
The authors Elias et al. (2021) wrote about today's racism in Australia that impacts the whole indigenous group of the reason. In the book named “Racism in Australia Today,” the Author highlights contemporary issues in Australia. It includes social, economic and political factors which affect the minority group in Australia. The minority group includes indigenous people, migrants and refugees of Australia who have lived in this region for very long years. The author stated that racism in Australia is not just an individual prejudice but is highly connected with embedded social issues. It means there are several institutional practices, policies and cultural influences for the Indigenous group that impact their career. They faced racism discrimination in employment, healthcare and specifically in education. The author found that ongoing challenges for Indigenous Aboriginal people in Australia lead to social disparities. They lack social and economic disadvantages in the public and private sectors. In the context of early education for Indigenous people, they face significant challenges in getting the proper access to education facilities. It includes cultural sensitivity and unde
epresentation of their norms. It directly contributes to the decline in their educational outcomes and influences the cycle of disadvantage for their further career. Dockery (2020), supported that Aboriginal and To
es Strait Islander people are the oldest continuous human culture in existence within Australia. Despite the durability of their existence and cultural heritage, they have not got any effective policies for educational facilities.
As of now only 2.8% of the population represents indigenous groups in Australia. The author supported unethical practices for early-age education by providing the suicide rate of this community. It highlighted that the suicide rate for Indigenous Australians is twice in comparison to non-indigenous Australians, which mainly leads to a lack of education and development opportunities. The author also stated that parents from Indigenous communities passed their cultural preferences to their children at a very early age. Later it leads to health and social-emotional adjustment in the society which restricts their mindset for getting educational facilities. It means children from an early age in Indigenous groups focused on saving their cultural preferences more than getting modern facilities and education. The study defined that the passing of Indigenous culture at an early age is effective for saving resources but not a contributing factor to education. The lack of contribution to society by Indigenous people limits their opportunities for educational infrastructure in Australia.

The authors Taylor and Habibis analysed the consequences of Aboriginal people in Australia related to racism and discrimination. In the article named “Widening the gap”, he included the issue of racism inequality and ignorance of Indigenous people within Australia. Lack of knowledge of Indigenous people and inactivity in modern society is the primary reason for their ignorance in the community. The author describes how ignorance of children of Indigenous groups in early education became possible due to social hierarchies. Ignorance by white people shapes the relation in race and leads to disadvantages for Aboriginal people in early education. For instance, unrecognised impacts of the Aboriginal community lead to socioeconomic challenges that are also influenced due to inadequate responses from white people. It means the author focused on the decision-making at all education levels by government and society. The article discusses social and economic disability of Aboriginal people in Australia that led to a reduction in education at an early age.
