Migration Must be a Planned One From the point of view of choosing and pursuing a worthwhile career, the country pupil is at a great disadvantage.

All country school-leavers have some sort of a qualification, perhaps two or three years' secondary schooling, or maybe School Certificate or better, but unless their qualifications are used purposefully these young people tend to drift—drift to town, and drift from job to job, becoming jacks of all trades and masters of none, and wasting their talents and qualifications. One of the great challenges facing country schools is the need to change this drift into a planned migration.
