In most countries some people live beyond major centres of population and, with the advance of e-learning, expect to receive the same educational opportunities as those who live in cities. For governments this raises the policy problem of justifying the provision of specialized teaching and learning resources in sparsely-populated areas that will be used by relatively few people. In rural Canada a solution has been found in the internet-based academic and administrative integration of small schools in rural communities so that they are able to share teachers, particularly those in specialized areas of the curriculum.
