Nowadays, children living in remote areas in most developing countries have less fewer opportunities to be provided universal education. While some believe that computers and Internet access could be provided as an effective way to resolve the problem, I would argue that installing new schools and employing teachers are the top priority.
In On the one hand, without the help of technology, children in rural villages will face a vast number of difficulties in accessing education. Firstly, the Internet is suggested as a valuable source for information that helps children acquire a great deal of knowledge from the online platform. Moreover, children can participate in online lessons with their teachers via social media like Skype instead of passing an extremely long distance to attend the class. Secondly, the pre – programmed electronic books as well as lessons not only can present knowledge in a vivid and novel way, but these are also useful measures for children to self-study without being completely dependent on teachers. As a result, geographic barriers would be no more a serious problem preventing children from accumulating knowledge.
On the other hand, I believe that the role of schools and teachers is highly acclaimed. Unlike developed nations, many rural areas in developing ones have faced a severe teacher and school shortages, leading to illiteracy among children. It seems that schools are able to create effective and competitive learning environments that encourage children to attempt to study. Besides, teachers are more likely to discover their students’ weakness and try to find out more effective educating methodologies in order to help them to improve significantly. For example, children who are less intelligent than others can be spent more time to be taught by their teachers after class hours.
In conclusion, it seems to me that to cope with the illiteracy of countryside children, it is more effective to construct new schools and employ more teachers rather than apply the modern technology in education.
