Problem Encountered and Resources Required-
Lack of Transport: – one of the problems faced by students in rural areas is the lack of transport. Students are unable to commute the long distances from their homes to the college premises. The lack of proper road and public transport deter students from attending college daily.
Communication Gap: – The rural sector mostly communicates with each other in the local language. The medium of instruction in most institution in the rural areas is the local language. Where as the urban areas English is the most spoken language. This lack of knowledge of the English language prevents large section of the rural youth from procuring jobs in cities.
We must find the solutions to bridge the gap between education in rural areas and education in urban areas.
