Remote Indigenous students in Australia & boarding school: The question of capital benefits

Contemporary boarding schools in the 21st century is increasingly understood as institutions where students live and learn for an academic education (Bass, 2014). Bass further highlighted that although many education institutions hold a common goal, boarding schools have varying purposes for different target groups. Despite the spectrum of purpose and the groups they are targeted for, Bourdieu and Passeron (1990) asserted that capital benefits are transmitted and acquired in such institutions. The notion of capital benefit opportunities in elite boarding schools can be argued as one of the major factors that influenced boarding destinations for Indigenous students from remote communities.
