It is true that a proper education is still out of reach for the children born in rural parts of
Developing countries. While some people suggest building more schools and sending more teachers in these areas, others would propose the provision of computers and Internet access. In my personal view, the latter seems more feasible.
On the one hand, schools and teachers are still fundamental to the objective of making
Discipline accessible to countryside students. Firstly, schools serve a number of purposes other than providing places for classes. More importantly, schools also function as meeting places for students to learn the importance of collaborating and socialising with other people, provide an ideal learning environment for further study and maintain the discipline of students through regular attendance. Secondly, owing to poor access to a
Systematic and constant training in the first place, students in remote areas is unlikely to study by themselves effectively. In other words, teachers are required in the learning process because they can acknowledge these students’ deficiencies and help them to solve their problems by repeating the same explanation, giving suitable exercises or even tutoring them privately.
On the other hand, I believe there are good reasons to supply these rural students with
Computers and Internet connection. The first reason is that these devices enable the students to pursue study programmes, despite the fact that these students live in distant areas. For example, students can use the computer and the Internet to participate in webinars from universities or work with the teachers through emails. This idea would seem more feasible than sending teachers to remote regions to teach. Another reason is that the computer can be a useful learning tool with educational softwares. There are many computer programmes, which contain a comprehensive course of self-study these days, so that the students can use these software applications without travelling out of their hometowns.
In conclusion, as people have their own views on how to provide education for rural
Students, I think that technology would offer a more plausible solution for the reasons mentioned.
