- Summary:
-
Young people from rural areas are less likely to pursue higher education than young people from the city. This project investigated the factors affecting Year 11 and 12 students higher education choices. The main aim of this project was to analyse ways to reduce the factors that inhibit students from rural and isolated areas, including lower socio-economic groups, from taking up tertiary study. The survey examined factors such as student vocational/career objectives, the extent to which higher education is valued and promoted in the social context of the student, the impact of family and peer group attitudes to higher education, the nature and extent of access to university information, and the extent to which students consider higher education a relevant option.
