Panel Brief
Education access = Educated communities.
For the vibrancy of Rural Australia, education access needs to be a priority, whatever age or stage from pre-kindy through to the workforce. Being raised in a rural or remote location is not a limiting factor to future success, nor should it limit options and opportunities when education is accessible. By ensuring accessibility, individuals can achieve educational excellence and rise to any level of their choosing and path.
To maintain a diverse industry, agriculture also needs to feature in education, showing our upcoming generations, regardless of where they receive their education, that this is a viable industry and is here to stay.
