Study Notes
Challenges of Remote Education
- Scoraig, a region in northern Scotland, is struggling to find a teacher for its primary school due to its isolated location.
- The region is inaccessible by car and lacks basic amenities like shops and post offices, making it unappealing to potential teachers.
Unique School Settings
- Rum and Canna, two small islands off Scotland's west coast, have primary schools with no students, but still require a head teacher to prepare for potential future students.
- The head teacher oversees both schools, which are currently empty.
Isolated Education in China
- Budaixi Primary School in central China's isolated region has only one student, six-year-old Xianzi, due to families leaving for bigger cities.
- Teacher Mr. Guo provides individualized lessons in maths and Chinese, and also plays games with Xianzi during lunch since she has no classmates.
- Being the only student, Xianzi always comes first in her class.
