Climbing mountains and crossing rivers, long walks through muddy forests under the blazing sun. Those are the daily struggles of young students in rural areas, students who are eager to learn with the goal of overcoming poverty. The harsh conditions of students in rural areas is an impending issue that is in need of addressing. It hinders the quality of their education as there is a lack of equipment and teachers, and the number of schools in these areas makes it difficult for the students to arrive on time as they would have to cover long distances for them to reach their destination. This issue calls for the support of the government, highlighting the need for an improved level of quality education. The government should allocate a segment of its funding towards this matter to promote equality and uphold the people’s right to education. 

One factor that suggests the need for the government to take action is the serious lack of resources such as school supplies, tables, chairs, and classrooms. This unavailability of resources forces the students to be in an environment that barriers them from acquiring knowledge. Also, the gap between the technology used in urban and rural schools is wide, where there is little to no modern learning technology involved in classes held in rural areas. The support that will be given by the government would foster equality and justice as it would address the marginalization of rural communities. Giving them the resources they need ensures that there is an equal opportunity for education for every individual, contributing to a just and inclusive society. 

According to the Center for Global Development, most out-of-school children worldwide are from rural areas. Those who do attend school are less likely to complete primary education or move on to secondary school. They also tend to perform worse on tests. This lack of educational achievement and skill development often leads to lower incomes and poorer life prospects. This supports the idea that the government should put more emphasis on education in rural areas as will lower the chances of poor academic outcomes leading them to better living conditions from better job opportunities. By addressing this issue, the government will be able to lower the poverty rate in the country, giving students from rural areas equal chances to achieve better life choices. 

	In the documentary entitled “On the Way to School”, the kilometer-long walks to the school of students from different countries are shown, indicating that the perseverance and willingness of students to learn can be witnessed around the world. It highlights the struggle of the students in rural areas and how they are blocked by the distance of the school and the lack of infrastructure, emphasizing the need for the government’s support in addressing such issues to ensure that everyone is given equal opportunities and a better quality education.

	According to John Locke, individuals have the right to life, liberty, and property, and that the government is established to uphold these rights. The lack of resources and schools limits their opportunities advancing inequality. Education is important because it gives individuals the knowledge to help improve and create a better society. According to Locke’s principles, the government has a duty to ensure that equal education is given to individuals as a way of valuing their natural rights. By supporting the idea of better support for rural areas, we promote Locke’s idea of promoting equality and protection for all people’s potential prosperity in the society. 

In summary, the struggles of rural students—such as long journeys, lack of resources, and insufficient school infrastructure—highlight the need for government action to improve the quality of education in these areas. Addressing the shortage of classrooms, learning materials, and technology, along with ensuring accessibility, can help bridge the gap between rural and urban education. By doing so, the government not only fulfills its responsibility to uphold equal rights to education but also empowers rural communities to break free from poverty and contribute to a more just and inclusive society. This issue matters because investing in rural education is an investment in the future of the nation.
