Education, Place, and the Sustainability of Rural Communities in Saskatchewan.
Wotherspoon, Terry
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v14 n3 p131-41 Win 1998
Uses data from a large community-based research project to examine perceptions of southwestern Saskatchewan residents about schooling's contributions to community sustainability. Area residents highly valued the maintenance of extensive local educational services and were generally satisfied with available services. However, schools offer credentials and content that serve urban centers more than local communities. Contains 35 references. (Author/CDS)
