Rural students as good as urban students

Accidental circumstances of birth should not stand in the way of students and should not have any bearing on learning outcomes. Permitting location to influence student outcomes would defeat the very purpose of education.

Education is designed and intended to be an equalizer of society, to bridge and close gaps between town and rural dwellers. Learners across districts, if subjected to the same curriculum and standard of classroom instruction, should more or less stand on the same pedestal in terms of academic achievement levels.
