Compared to the cities, the educational resources in rural areas are not so affluent as those in urban ones because of the lagging behind of the economic development in rural areas. Some advanced educational ideas can not be spread fast. Moreover, the village teachers are still applying traditional teaching methods subject to their limitation on professional knowledge and comparatively backward teaching conceptions.
