  • @NAJMAc79e2494d9, Hello Dear Najma, Yes It is the most current issue to be dealt and solved at first, I think to address school closures in rural areas, consider adding Mobile Learning Units. These units can provide educational resources and temporary classrooms while schools are being repaired or reopened.
    However these are indeed a short-term solution. They are designed to provide immediate educational support while more permanent measures are being implemented. For a comprehensive approach, they should be part of a broader strategy that includes long-term solutions like improving school infrastructure, recruiting and training teachers, and establishing community partnerships.

    Thank you for your attention.
