Village schoolchild vs. metropolitan schoolchild
An extremely bright and promising village schoolchild, when compared with a metropolitan schoolchild is almost ALWAYS a victim of some prejudice or the other, because he was born and brought up in a village. How to bridge this gap?

Very good discussion,
Its true many draw line between metropolitan students and village students. Such stereotypes are more popular that city students are proactive, smart and better than village students.
I believe such prejudice can be removed by village student itself,

I agree to @||Arvind Joshi245|| that village students are victim of some prejudice some times. This prejudice is basically because most of the children from big cities have never seen a village in reality. I my opinion the first step should be to make the city children aware of what are our village

I think that there is a huge imaginary gap between the individual's perception which might not be erased so easily until and unless they work towards it.
In today's time, people at every step believe adamantly in the English proverb "What you see is what you get", but forget the actual meaning whi

Well I believe every individual has his/her own perception. I would like to quote an example here- "Most of the KBC winners are from Indian village origin"...Its not right to compare the two as both are good and the best in their own ways and the tag of "village school child" has never been a hurdle

How does one judge whether a guy is from a village or a city? Does an employer look for that information in the CV? I don't think so. The only distinguishing factors are the personality, confidence level and ease of communication of an individual. So, I don't think there are dearth of opportunities

Closing such a gap requires modification the prevailing systems in the education sector and also the "Thought processes" in the people of the rural sector. The easiest thing one can do it to enhance the facilities in the schools in the rural sector and get trained teachers from the larger cities (an

But usually this bridge is built by the recruiters/employers.. who keep in mind smartness and not intelligence!

I think this gap cannot be bridged unless and until the student itself won't do something in this regard. The very first thing to understand is the right of equality and then it comes the other point which is intelligent is intelligent. Just because a metropolitan student can speak fluently in engli

This Gap can be reduced only by One's perspective. Every child/candidate should be treated equally irrespective of the place of Birth,Origin,Education etc. All of them should be judged on the basis of the knowledge that they posses and not the background that they belong to!
