Our research suggested that young people growing up in coastal areas may face different challenges in accessing Higher Education compared to those in urban inland areas. Whilst this may be explained by higher levels of area-level deprivation in many seaside towns, the potential solutions may not be straightforward. In many urban inland areas, young people would not have to leave home to attend University. It is quite possible that outreach work that is trialled in ethnically diverse urban areas, where distances to Higher Education providers are small and there is a greater supply of universities with a wide range of myanmar rcs data admission tariffs, may not translate well to a more geographically remote region with fewer Universities.
Whether this is the main barrier to progression remains unclear though. Future studies might therefore seek to investigate the exact nature of the educational challenges faced by young people in rural and coastal areas. To answer the question, better understanding of the potential dislocation for young people in more geographically remote areas is required. In particular, our work emphasises the importance of knowing more about the opportunity structures, decisions, and possibilities for young people in growing up rural and coastal regions.
This is a research topic we are intending to pursue further and are seeking future opportunities to do. If this is an area of interest to you, please do get in touch.
