Dr. K. Mangayarkarasi

Abstract :

Now a days is very has been gradually decreasing its effect day–by–day. Rural means living in or characteristic of farming or country life. The literacy rate in Tamilnadu is very decent compared to other states of India. As per 2011 census we stand at 11th position with a literacy rate of 77.13. Education in Tamilnadu rural areas is rarely considered as an asset in the state. In order to provide a good quality of education in rural areas, public schools in Tamilnadu have to be established not only establishment but also proper functioning of school. Government of TN has to appoint a particular officer only to supervise the functioning of the school. The present situation is that a large number of teachers refuse to teach in rural areas of Tamilnadu and those that do are usually under qualified. In recent years the number of qualified teachers has increased because of increased efforts by the government and private groups to improve the general education and professional training of teachers. There is more of an emphasis on the training of rural teachers, whose educational backgrounds are generally not as sound as their urban counterparts. Those that refuse to teach in rural areas cite distance and lack of interest by students as problems. Many of the teachers also lack the enthusiasm to teach because of their meager salary. If bio–metric system is used in the schools for teachers, then they may take the classes regularly.
