More than 70 percent of the population resides within rural communities. The rural individuals have recognized the meaning and significance of education. They have formed the viewpoint that education imparts information in terms of not only academic subjects, but also in terms of strategies, which are necessary in promoting enrichment of overall quality of lives. They have reinforced the viewpoint that they will acquire employment opportunities and will enhance their overall standards of living, when they will acquire education. Within rural communities, the system of education is in an under-developed state. In other words, there are occurrences of various types of dilemmas and challenging situations within the course of achievement of educational goals. Furthermore, teaching-learning methods, teaching-learning materials and instructional strategies are in an under-developed state. In addition, the individuals are not being able to hone creative skills, as various types of extra-curricular and creative activities are in a well-developed condition. Therefore, in rural communities, education system is not well-developed and there is a need to formulate programs, which would promote enrichment of overall system of education. As a consequence, progression will take place of individuals, communities and nation as a whole. The main concepts that are taken into account in this research paper are, objectives of acquisition of education, impediments experienced within the education system in rural communities, and measures to be implemented in promoting enhancement of education system in rural communities.
