Description
INTRODUCTION Research about education in rural areas, and formal education policy directions for rural schools, are each based on the idea that rural students are 'disadvantaged'. Specific indicators have been devised and refined by researchers and educators to measure education 'achievement' for rural children, and then comparing the perceived causes of these 'disadvantages' to the measured 'advantages' of students elsewhere. It is usually specific groups in the urban student cohort that are measurably advantaged compared to rural students. Rarely have educational research or policy directions been inverted to be defined, evaluated and prescribed simply from within the rural, to design and produce education for rural young people.
