The plight of Education in Rural communities.

It should come as no surprise that rural school children are the most deprived of socioeconomic lives especially when it comes to having quality education and this is basically due to poverty and Neglect.

Many parents do not understand the value of Education as well. And even the ones who agree to send their children to school barely have the funds to sustain them through.

There is a call for urgent attention as rural schools have been left for doom for too long as they rarely have inexperienced teachers. They also suffer a lack of enough teachers for the number of children enrolled in the school.

Moreover, there aren’t enough schools in the rural communities as there are cases where students would have to travel long distances (on foot) to get education and this affects their performance indefinitely.

All these may be linked to government neglects, and also linked to poverty, as well.

Nowadays, teachers prefer teaching in urban areas than in rural communities especially because of the monthly stipends rural community teachers receive as salary.

Education is really important and its effect can never be sidelined. Education is every child’s right.

We are calling for urgent attention from both The people and the government to look into the cases of poor Education rates in rural communities and do all that they can to alleviate these problems.

Better roads should be built, to help these young ones transport themselves.

More teachers need to be employed and empowered.
Parents should be educated to see the importance of Education, this way they can educate their children as well.

More schools should be built, and the private sectors can come in.
Teachers needs to be appreciated and recognized.

Students needs empowerment as well, as they rarely have the finances to get writing and reading materials.

Igniting Hope Initiative is out to support the children in the rural communities with books, writing materials, uniforms, school shoes, school bags, scholarships, a meal and classrooms

Many children in the rural communities go to school on bare foot, no school bags to shield their books from rain, no books and writing materials and to top it all they go on empty stomach.

Some of them are malnourished and sick because they are not well fed.

As at today, we have over 13million out of school children in Nigeria.

If we enrol them in schools, feed them, pay their school fees, cloth them, put shoes on their feet and give them education materials, it will help to reduce the number of out of school children in Nigeria and Africa.

Let us give a future to these innocent and vulnerable kids in the rural communities, give them hope and make life better for them.
