| Abstract: | Conclusions The results refer to grade 6, at the class-teacher level. We cannot deny the possibility that centralization at higher levels may have other pedagogical and organizational consequences. There seems no doubt that centralization to large units has a number of obvious advantages. It gives students greater possibilities of choosing lines of study and of specializing. It makes it possible to care for handicapped students better, makes better equipment available, and so on. Nevertheless, what has been found shows that care must be taken in centralization, particularly of young pupils. Centralization may have an upper limit; the distance between home and school may be so great that the negative results outweigh the positive ones. Further, the school to which centralization is made may be of doubtful quality, and the gains expected may not be forthcoming. In other words, the larger school must be able to take advantage of its greater pedagogical possibilities. It is not least this that justifies research on the school problems of sparsely populated regions, the problems of small schools and of long journeys to school. In the long run, it may help not only students living in rural areas, but all students.
