Abstract: Public consultations had revealed that access to education was a significant concern in rural and remote areas of Australia, particularly in relation to ongoing economic decline. In response, the Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission initiated the National Inquiry into Rural and Remote Education. The inquiry took evidence at formal public hearings in the capital cities of every state and territory and at less formal meetings with parents, students, educators, and community members in rural and remote areas of every state and the Northern Territory. The inquiry received 300 written and e-mailed submissions, including one from the government or education department in every state, the Northern Territory, and the Commonwealth. The inquiry also commissioned a survey from the Youth Research Centre at Melbourne University to which 3,128 individuals responded. This report describes the context of the inquiry (Ch2), the evaluation framework (Ch3), the policy framework (Ch4), the availability of school education (Ch5), the accessibility of school education (Ch6), the affordability of school education (Ch7), the acceptability of school education (Ch8) and the adaptability of school education (Ch9). Recommendations are given in each of chapters 3 to 9.
