The Isolated Children's Parents' Association of New South Wales (ICPA NSW) believes that all students irrespective of where they live are entitled to equitable access to education that enables them to participate to their full potential in the social, economic, political and cultural life of the community.
Engaging in a tertiary education at an institution of choice should be an option for all rural and remote students who have the ability, ambition, motivation and aspiration to pursue their goals regardless of their socio-economic status or geographic location.
90% of students from rural and remote areas of NSW who gain admission to university and then defer for 12 months will not take up the offer.
