Bridging rural urban educational divide using social technologies



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.
