Renewable energy based Community Learning Center (CLC) has an impact in the indigenous people’s education development, especially those in remote areas. The aim of the program is to provide electricity in order to access the Internet and telecommunications, which can reduce the gap of education among the indigenous students in rural and urban areas. Issues discussed in this article are regarding the cause of drop out among the indigenous students in the formal education system. The focus of the discussion is on factors of environmental infrastructure that discourage them from improving and extending their studies to a higher level. The facilities for this program can also enhance the learning process in schools, families and communities. The discussion also focused on the indigenous people’s willingness to accept and use the facilities provided for the CLC physical preparation. Some suggestions on the use of CLC to support Aboriginal’s education system were also discussed.
