Our point of departure lies in research suggesting<br \/>\nthat rural students\u2019 cultural and social capital differ from that presupposed by school and educational<br \/>\nauthorities, affecting their preferences and school trajectories. Such a starting point necessitates a focus<br \/>\non background factors, such as SES, gender and ethnicity.<\/p>\n<p>The analyses are based on 54 qualitative interviews collected among upper secondary school students<br \/>\nin six upper secondary schools in a county in North Norway. The analyses suggest that there are some<br \/>\npreference or aspiration differences between youngsters locating in different geographic areas. These<br \/>\ndifferences may have to do with the context in which choices are conducted. Students residing in different<br \/>\ngeographical settings may have different forms of motivation for their choices, simply because the<br \/>\nreality on the other side of the school building looks different.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>B\u00e6ck, Unn-Doris K.
