Rural education is one of the fields that has been lacking progress in Bangladesh and other third world countries, in general. There are very few schools set up in rural areas, and as such, students living in remote villages have to walk miles to reach school. Moreover, the scope for higher education is almost negligible. Even within the few schools present in the rural areas, quality of education is usually not up to the mark, with poor infrastructure, absence of properly qualified teachers and other facilities like electricity, etc. This in turn drives more potential students away from school.
