Description

The question guiding this paper, based on Australian and Canadian research, is how students graduating from small schools in rural communities make educational and career decisions regarding non-local environments about which many have little first-hand experience, but to which they must re-locate for further education and work. This pressing issue for senior students in rural schools is embedded in a larger question--how can governments provide learning opportunities for young people who live in small communities located far from major centres of population that match what is available to students in large urban institutions? For some young rural school leavers the problem of what to do at the conclusion of compulsory education is confusing: where should they go? Which senior high school courses are required for enrolment in possible future higher education courses? For many rural students there is doubt that they will be able to compete with their urban counterparts who have been educated in much larger schools. Beyond these immediate concerns, many young rural school leavers face the issue of making personal sense of the non-local world that has, in some cases, never been directly experienced (Genge, 1996; Jarvis, 1990; Looker, 1993; Stewart, 2003; Tucker & Stevens, 1999).
