What is
education?
- Education is both the act of teaching
knowledge to others and the act of
receiving knowledge from someone
else. Education also refers to the
knowledge received through schooling or
instruction and to the institution of
teaching as a whole.
• The geography of education, identified in
the Dictionary of Human Geography as,
'The study of spatial variations in the
provision, uptake and outputs of
educational facilities and resources'
• Urban students typically gain greater overall
access to education, receive a higher quality
education, and outperform their rural
counterparts. This “urban advantage” varies
across countries but is present in both the
developed and developing world.
WHAT IS
EDUCATION?
[URBAN
AREAS]
• Urban education is a method of schooling that
takes place in large, densely populated areas
with diverse populations. It can refer to
the situations and demands that characterize
teaching and learning in large metropolitan
areas.

surrounding a city.]
What is
Education?
[RURAL
AREAS]
• For most of the population living in rural
areas, education is highly dependent
on government-run or aided schools and
non-governmental organizations. But
rural areas still face various barriers
that directly impact the country's
literacy rate.
• Rural education is important not only for
the enhancement of life quality of the
rural community, but also for the overall
progress and development of the
country.
[Rural is defined as all population,
housing, and territory not included
within an urbanized area]
