Moving to the country? You’ll meet a lot of great teachers, but your kids’ education could still suffer

The post-pandemic world is full of unknowns. However, one emerging trend is a move to the country. Last year 233,000 people moved to regional Australia, a record according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. ABS data released this week shows the trend is continuing with 66,000 fleeing the cities in the March quarter. Research by the Regional Australia Institute found that one in five capital city dwellers were thinking of moving to the country.

“The achievements of rural, regional and remote students have in the main lagged behind urban students for decades,” according to a little-knownThis under-achievement is evidenced in literacy and numeracy results, and year 12 completion rates. The consequences are stunted opportunities post-school. This is not to suggest there are not good schools and teachers in rural and regional Australia. In 10 years of doing education-focused philanthropy, I am yet to meet a teacher not wanting the best for their students.

We can’t waste the opportunity of this new-found interest in country Australia by the city. If moving to the country, take your high expectations of education with you.It Takes a Village
