This blog will publish posts related to the topic areas of the study, reflections, and preliminary findings of the study. We will also invite relevant individuals and organisations to contribute to the blog and write opinion posts and reflections on the area of rural education, and education in Northern Ireland. We hope our readers will be anyone with an interest in rural education, rural communities, and small schools (such as teachers, parents, researchers, rural community organisations, policy-makers, and young people living in rural areas).
