Over 60 per cent of Indigenous students in the Northern Territory need extra support with reading and numeracy. 

That's according to the latest NAPLAN test results.

In other states and the ACT that figure is around 33 per cent. 

It's led to calls for a change to the education system especially for Indigenous students who speak English as a second language. 

Other stories in this episode include:
Former Northern Territory police officers launch a class action over alleged racial discrimination and abuse. 
SNAICC, the national voice for Indigenous children and young people breaks down the theme of this year's National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day.
And students from across the Torres Strait and Northern Peninsula have taken part in the Junior Indigenous Youth Parliament on Thursday Island.
