The education sector is another area where small-town students face difficulties in obtaining an education. Many rural schools do not have enough resources to provide their students with the best education possible. This limits the opportunities for small-town students to develop their talents and abilities. One of the most common challenges is related to transportation. In small towns, the closest schools and colleges are often miles away. This increases the price that a parent has to pay for transportation, which in turn, increases the price of sending a child to school.
