Exclusive: The government is being urged to provide extra funding to support ITT in rural areas, as a report warns that trainees are being prevented from starting their careers in Cornwall due to expensive housing and poor public transport

The findings of the Pretty Poverty report are relevant to all rural communities in England - the government can only target resources fairly if the measure of deprivation is place-sensitive. Find the report here: marjon.ac.uk/educational-iso… @BBCNews

To answer this question we need to understand what makes coastal schools different and how some of these place-based differences have limited their access to resources @marjonuni marjon.ac.uk/research/resear…

@NGAMedia @CSTvoice In case the research report on school governance was missed. Forward by NGA CEO.

But the message was clear: move away from deficit language. Embrace complexity, honour place, build on community assets. This is at the heart of our @TedWraggTrust Strengthening Communities Strategy, led so powerfully by @gracehelen84, Rachel Earley and Nicola Keeler.

@UniEducator summed it up beautifully: equity demands that we value uniqueness, integrate culture and design context-responsive approaches that allow young people to see opportunity in their own communities.

🌊UK: coastal communities face widening gaps, lower pay, fewer degree-level qualifications
🏔️US: rural schools = higher HS graduation, but fewer transition to college
⭐️Shared challenges: teacher shortages, geographic isolation, economic disadvantage.

Tonight at @marjonuni I joined the Academy Series Lecture from @UniEducator on education in periphery, coastal & rural contexts. As an alum, it was a delight to be back - and the conversation resonated strongly with the wicked problems we face in education.
