In India they guessed that in remote areas schools the teachers arent good enough. Even if they were, the school cant hold them.

Last year they drove 300 kilometers away from New Delhi and when they found a school,they gave the studens standart test. the result- the remoter the school was, the grades were wars.
They didnt find conection between the provety of the school to the grades. They found thet the technology in education gives better grades.
to prove that, they placed a computer with internet in a hole in a wall in a vilge with no English or technology skills.
The childrens try to use the computer and it took them some time to understand how it works.
