Peer-mentoring of students in rural and low-socioeconomic status schools: increasing aspirations for higher education

16/1/2013

 
The National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) has published the report Peer-mentoring of students in rural and low SES schools: increasing aspirations for higher education.The findings show that, compared with their higher SES peers, low SES students have less favourable attitudes towards school, lower achievement at school, and less ambitious post-school study and career aspirations. Students who received sustained mentoring showed a higher likelihood of enrolling in a university course.

Copies of Peer-mentoring of students in rural and low SES schools: increasing aspirations for higher education are available for downloading free of charge from http://www.ncver.edu.au/publications/2562.html
