Abstract

In this issue of the Australian and International Journal of Rural Education, our authors present a series of perspectives about rural professional learning. These perspectives relate to teacher education, rural clinical placements, rural pathways to university, and credentialling of remote education tutors. Each paper demonstrates how important context is, highlighting the challenges and solutions to real-world rural education issues.
