Bridging rural urban educational divide using social
technologies
India
is facing a huge rural-urban divide with regard to learning achievement at the
school level. Even after significant educational expansion in the recent
years—including physical infrastructure of schools and enrolment of students
(at primary and secondary levels)—dropout rates in rural India are substantially
high (at 40% and 57%, respectively). The major reasons behind this unfortunate
outcome—in spite of large investments in traditional classroom programmes—are
teacher absenteeism, and poor quality of teaching due to non-availability of
trained teachers and attractive teaching materials in rural schools.
