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.
