Enhancing School Retention: School and Community Linkages in Regional/Rural Western Australia

澳大利亚学校、社区和教育系统面临的最棘手的问题之一是如何创造和维持条件，以留住年轻人十二年的学校教育，特别是在地区/农村地区。该项目将绘制民族志地图，调查和描述少数提高了留校率的学校和社区。将采用行动研究过程，制定并验证支持提高留用率的条件概况。最后，将编制一套侧重于促进留校的条件的材料，供学校和社区更广泛地使用。

One of the most intractable issues confronting schools, communities and education systems in Australia, is how to create and sustain the conditions to retain young people for twelve years of schooling, particularly in regional/rural areas. This project will ethnographically map, investigate and describe a small number of schools and communities that have improved their levels of school retention. A Profile of Conditions Supporting Improved Retention will be developed and validated using an action research process. Finally, a set of materials focussing on the conditions promoting school retention, will be developed for wider use by schools and communities.
