While society supports quality education for all on paper, the harsh reality is that several factors hamper the actualization of this sentiment. Some key factors here include lack of infrastructure, accessibility and financial stability. Rural schools often have poorly maintained classrooms, insufficient teacher’s training and equipment such as a blackboard, and access to quality electricity, water supply and sanitation which results in an unhealthy environment for the learning and teaching process. Many schools being located far from the student’s homes and lack of transportation facilities and properly constructed roads act as a hinderance to educational justification. Furthermore, majority of the children are expected to juggle their families’ financial responsibilities along with their education and this struggle often leads them to choose work over education. The ever-rising cost of living and limited sympathetic support systems towards them in any aspect forces parents to reluctantly discontinue their children’s education (especially with a girl child). While strides are being made by the government to remove these hurdles, the above mentioned factors clearly indicate that we have a long way to go in terms of education in the rural section.
