The Queensland Budget Estimates hearing has revealed that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students are completing year 12 at almost the same rate as non-Indigenous high school students in Queensland.

The hearing revealed that 97.2 percent of Indigenous students received a high school certificate, compared to 98.1 percent of non-Indigenous students.

A figure that is up from 75 percent in 2013.

Queensland Education Minister Grace Grace said the results were the best in Australia.
