First and foremeost, children in rural areas receive poorer quality of education. Teachers are often absent and they often do not have access to books and materials. Secondly, rural schools have fewer commited teachers. Teachers are often underpaid. They also want to move to urban places for better livelihood. Last but not least, children have a lack of proper textbooks and learning materials. Rural places do not have many shops that sell school materials. In addition, people in rural places often cannot afford those materials.

Secondly, people can volunteer to teach rural children. Volunteers can be University graduates or anyone else who has earned higher education. Thirdly, Government can provide support for rural education. Government can establish schools where rural children do not need to pay fees. Government can also provide textbooks at zero costs to parents of rural children. Last but not the least, rural children can be provided with digital devices. Students can listen to teachers online even if the teacher live very far away from them.
