Kyle Eggleton: Auckland University Paper Lead on the study that that showed rural schools have a lower University Entrance rate - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Concern about a gap between urban and rural students at med schools.  

Research from Auckland University has found that rural students had a 15% lower University Entrance rate, creating barriers for them to get into medicine.  

Paper lead Author Kyle Eggleton says it's due to fewer resources and higher socioeconomic depravation. 

He said that in urban areas you’re more likely to have single-sex schools and private schools, and they tend to be less deprived, which leads to better outcomes.
