Abstract

New Zealand rural education since 1991 has heen influenced by the publication of the Report of the Economic and Educational Viability of Small Schools Review which, while not devoted entirely to the rural sector of the country's education system, was in large part concerned with the educational viability of small schools in isolated communities. In New Zealand, most small schools are in rural areas, although there are some notable urban exceptions. The review took place amid considerable media speculation and growing apprehension about the future of small schools, particularly those in remote parts of the country.
