| Summary |
The study explored the range of perceptions, attitudes, images, aspirations, plans, and knowledge of tertiary education held by groups of students in Years 10, 11 and 12, some parents, and some teachers of senior school students. It did this primarily by using a case study methodology. The main research questions for the study were: 1. What are the perceptions, attitudes, images, aspirations, plans, and knowledge of tertiary education held by Year 10, 11 and 12 students? 2. What are the perceptions, images, plans, and knowledge of tertiary education held by the parents, teachers and careers counsellors-the main advisers to these groups of students? |
