AI for Inclusive Education: Closing the Urban-Rural Gap

Hema Rani

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help reduce the education gap between urban and rural areas. Many rural schools face problems such as a shortage of teachers and learning resources. This paper explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can reduce the educational gap between urban and rural areas, promoting inclusive learning for all students. Using a systematic review of existing studies, the paper analyzes AI?s potential to overcome challenges like poor infrastructure, teacher shortages, and limited access to learning materials in rural regions. Findings reveal that while AI tools such as adaptive learning systems and intelligent tutoring hold great promise; effective implementation depends on adequate infrastructure, teacher training, and supportive policy frameworks, AI can promote inclusive education and improve learning opportunities for rural students.
