'Everything is harder': participation in tertiary education of young people from rural and regional Victoria
This report investigates the attitudes that shape post-school education and training decisions and choices for peri-urban, regional and rural students and their families. The authors conclude that the longer-term economic and employment benefits of further education, particularly higher education, are perceived by many of the research participants as reducing and becoming less significant and more delayed compared to the perceived short-term advantages of direct entry to work.
