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问题之一是如何创造和维持条件，使年轻人继续接受12年的教育，特别是在区域/农村地区。这个项目将绘制、调查和描述少数学校和社区的人种志，这些学校和社区已经提高了他们的在校保留率。将利用行动研究过程开发和验证支持改进保留率的条件概况。最后，将编写一套侧重于促进留校条件的材料，供学校和社区广泛使用。

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.
