Education Gap in West Java: Do Rural Children Have Equal Opportunities?

Equitable access to education is one of the important pillars in moving a region forward. Education not only opens up opportunities for individuals to develop, but also plays a crucial role in improving the social and economic welfare of the community. In West Java, despite various efforts made by the government, the gap in access to education between rural and urban areas is still a significant problem. This gap is not only evident in the number of schools but also in the quality of teachers and educational resources available.
