PCAP Project Profiles and General Profiles. Priority Country Area Program--Queensland.
Priority Country Area Program Office, Brisbane (Australia).
Four Priority Country Area overviews, one State overview and one Project Profile are included in this report from the Priority Country Area Program (PCAP), designed to improve the educational opportunities of rural Queensland children. The program resulted from a 1977-79 Schools Commission report suggesting that rural students may be disadvantaged compared to urban dwellers with respect to available experiences/opportunities. The State overview of Queensland includes: a breakdown of the priority areas (with map); the area extent; name, address and phone number of the program's state coordinator; a description giving background, geography, program guidelines, and administration information; and sections on PCAP projects and evaluation. The Area overviews cover the Central, Northern, North West and South West priority areas of Queensland. Each overview contains: the name and extent of the area (with map); local authority areas; the date priority was declared; name, address, and phone number of regional coordinators; and a description of the area including background, geography, demography, PCAP Projects, administration, and information/publications. The Project Profile describes the Balonne Ballet project in the South West Priority area, which provides a travelling ballet teacher to give lessons in the area. Information is given on the background, operation, and evaluation of the project. (JMM)
