Responding to Isolation and Educational Disadvantage.
Squires, Don
Education in Rural Australia, v13 n1 p24-40 2003
Australian rural communities often suffer from psychological isolation in addition to geographic isolation. Human and social capital are powerful antidotes to psychological isolation and are closely dependent on learning. Rural schools can reverse the negative effects of isolation on educational outcomes if they first work on building human and social capacity in the community. (TD)
