Educating the Rural India
India's rural areas have been left behind in the wake of high growth in A and B cities in India. One cause of rural poverty is the inability for children in rural areas to obtain basic education. India aspires for Universal Compulsory Primary Education, with its challenges of keeping poor children in school and maintaining quality of education in rural areas, has been difficult to achieve. While schools do exist in rural India, many children are not able to attend because they are needed instead to earn money for their families by working in factories or fields. Without a foundation of basic education, these children are trapped in a life of hard labor and barely sustainable wages.
