Jaiden McGregor—a Roberta Sykes scholar born on Larrakia country in Darwin with ancestral connections to the Nyikina people of the central Kimberley—is stepping onto the global stage with a clear and urgent purpose. Awarded an international scholarship through the Aurora Education Foundation, Jaiden is bound for University College London (UCL) to study a Master of Arts in Education and International Development, with a focus on Conflict, Emergencies, and Peace.
Jaiden McGregor is heading to London to undertake a Master of Arts in Education and International Development at University College London, specializing in Conflict, Emergencies, and Peace.
NITV Radio sat down with him to talk about his journey, his community, and his vision for education on the global stage.
Sometimes you look at something that’s happening around the world and the way that they respond to it, and kick yourself and ask why we don’t do the same back home.Jaiden McGregor
Jaiden says that his educational path is guided by clear observations and experiences both at home and overseas.
In a world increasingly disrupted by environmental and political crisis, access to education is often the first thing lost.
His work aims to change that by embedding Indigenous ways of knowing into international emergency frameworks—ensuring communities in crisis receive education models that honour local identity while meeting global standards.
