Pursuing equity in high poverty rural schools: improving learning through rich accountabilities

高贫困社区学校的学生表现不佳是澳大利亚的一个紧迫的教育问题，特别是贫困农村社区的教育劣势需要改善。证据表明，教育成果的公平和质量对国家的经济未来、澳大利亚民主的力量、社会包容和国家统一至关重要。在加强有关绩效数据教育用途的政策和实践知识以及发展丰富形式的问责制方面，这项研究将促进学术文献的发展，并为低社会经济地位学校的国家伙伴关系的成功提供证据基础。

Poor performance of students in schools located in high poverty communities is a pressing educational problem for Australia, with educational disadvantage in poor rural communities in particular demanding amelioration. The evidence suggests the equity and quality of schooling outcomes are centrally important to the nation's economic future, the strength of Australian democracy, social inclusion and a unified nation. In strengthening policy and practice knowledge about educative usage of performance data and the development of rich forms of accountability, the research will advance the academic literature and provide an evidence base for success of the national partnership on low socio-economic status schools.
