Implications of Geographic Situation on Australian Student Performance in PISA 2000
Author(s): John Cresswell and Catherine Underwood
Publisher: ACER 2004
A recent study examined the effect of geographical location on the performance of students from schools from all parts of Australia who participated in PISA 2000. Almost 5500 students from 231 schools across Australian major cities, inner regional, outer regional, remote and very remote areas participated. In PISA, students in remote areas were not achieving at the same level as their city counterparts. Results for Australian schools located in major cities and inner regional areas were above the OECD average in reading literacy. Outer regional areas and remote and very remote areas were at or below the OECD average.
