The American myth insists that education is the path that helps urban people to get the status of the middle class. The level of education received by urban students in public school is insufficient to make competitive with middle and upper-class income peers. The mathematics class in high poverty schools is twice as in public schools for urban students. Similarly for science classes at high poverty high school is three times more than the classes taken place in low-poverty high school.
If it is the school or the city, the urban areas are always full of opportunities that help us entertained and never let people get bored. There are restaurants, movie theatres, amazing social life, shopping sites, etc. The cities allow you to roam around free and do anything anytime you want. There are better job and internship opportunities for you when you study in an urban school because of the big conglomerates and respectable businesses run their operation in the city offices. There is also a chance that you will get to do both the things simultaneously and be able to graduate in a better position and stable financial conditions.
The students that come in from far and wide and rural areas and get e n rolled in the urban schools, provide the school premises with an amazing diversity that also helps us adjust to the norms and get comfortable. The student bodies that are selected or elected are then eventually diverse too.
It is considered to be a basic human right in almost every country and every part of the world. Education has to be given away to the underlings by instructors or teachers who have experience and knowledge of the particular field. In the book, Finding a New Perspective For Urban Education in America (ISBN 978-1951630072), the author says that it also requires formal institutes, certifications, and a structured environment. Parents believe that the kids who study in urban schools rather than those in the less-populated areas have broader horizons and they have better cognitive abilities because the standard of education is better un those schools as compared to the ones in rural or communal areas.
There happens to be every direct connection between the urban society and the education systems of a country because more than 70% of the population that can afford these schools live in urban areas and it gives the kids a chance to get to know and learn to deal with all kinds of socioeconomic classes so that they know for future references that how to behave in front of whom. Surveys also suggest that literacy and urbanization go hand in hand and they are believed to complement each other too. We have been observing for centuries that education and numeracy grow to be much valuable when independent political and military developments lead to rapid urbanization.
