Abstract
This paper addresses educational inequality of access to higher
education for Scottish rural communities. Inequality results from the
sole use of a national socio-economic index in order to meet a key
milestone for higher education goal. I show (1) how the use of this
index can have adverse effects on these communities and (2) how
contextual considerations of rural education research could mitigate
these effects and enrich policy-making.
