Szakirodalmi áttekintés a vidéki iskolák európai helyzetéről

The declining number of children, the sight of schools becoming quiet and empty is a cause for concern not only in the rural villages of Szeklerland. Today, the threat to the survival of small rural schools is a global phenomenon. As there are relatively few synthesis studies in the literature that provide a summary picture of the current situation of rural schools, Montserrat Fargas-Malet and Carl Bagley (2021) attempt to fill this gap. This article presents a synthesis of research by this British authors' pair on small schools in rural settings and their enrolment indicators in relation to other background factors.
