General Problems Faced by Rural School for Development

Lack of Proper Infrastructure

Nowadays, the rural families are aware of the importance of educating their children. Thus, few of them have started sending their children to educational institutes while some are ready to send their kids to the school. However, the problem is in the lack of appropriate infrastructure facilities in the rural schools.

Around 45 to 50% of the rural schools that is government sponsored are blessed with electricity and water connections. On the other hand, few of the rural schools for development is still dreaming about having qualified teachers who are accessible to various teaching aids and know how to use a computer. It was suggested by the RTE Act of 2009, that every school must have a playground within the boundaries of the school campus.

Also, maintenance of sanitation facilities is a must condition. Because of the shortage of suitable washrooms, there is more number of dropouts from the school especially the female students. Although some schools are extending toilet facilities, it seems as if they are not properly maintained. Therefore, the lighting, furniture, properly-ventilated classrooms, lack of electricity and water,study materials, and other accessories that are related to teaching are the reason for short attendance in the rural schools in India and there is an urgent need to focus and bring the change in these shortcomings.

Lack of Educational Facilities and Inadequate Facilities to Teachers

In most of the schools in rural areas the education system is not properly developed and requires an extra effort and attention to come to an appropriate condition for working on the rural school for development. The Environmental conditions of the rural schools are not appropriate enough and affect the physical, mental conditions and health of the students. Lack of amenities and adequate facilities in rural schools are creating a problem for students and they have to think a lot even for attaining the basic education.

Facilitating learning has turned out to be a topic of huge concern in those schools that are located in rural areas. Because of lack of facilities that assist the students, educators, and teachers they encounter troubles in executing teaching and learning techniques.

Few schools in rural regions are sponsored by the particular state governments. Nonetheless, these teachers don’t get adequate payment and permanent posts by the government agencies. Hence, rural school for development and progress of the society is the need of the time now.

Conclusion

Due to the urgent need of education and employment, it is important to start from the most basic level i.e. school. Hence, these NGOs are actively involved in making strategies for promoting rural schools for the purpose of development and growth of the nation.
