How is school education in the village different from that in the city?
Advertisements
Solution
The village school is easily accessible on foot. Values and letters of the alphabet are given utmost importance. Children carried wooden slates and ink-pot. There was no subject specialization in the village school. One teacher taught all. The city school has huge buildings. Subject-wise teachers are there. School is remote. Children have to travel a long distances to reach school.
