Education in Country and City New South Wales by John Wilkinson
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    Evidence exists of differences, in levels of achievement, between country and city students in New South Wales (pp.1, 13-14, 22-25)
    Governments have attempted to respond, to perceived differences in performance, by instituting programs to enhance achievement (pp.15-21)
    Researchers have pointed to high staff turnover as a contributing factor to differences in performance, between country and city students (p.26)
    Retaining students, to year 12, appears to be a particular issue in providing education to students in rural areas (pp.23-25)

The Parliament of New South Wales acknowledges and respects the traditional lands of all Aboriginal people, and pays respects to all Elders past and present. We acknowledge the Gadigal people as the traditional custodians of the land on which the Parliament of New South Wales stands.
