Why are there so few rural primary schools that used to be bustling?

I remember when I was a child, I went to school at the door of my house, and the friends of a village or even several villages went to school together, which was very lively, but when I returned to my hometown two days ago, I found that the previous primary school campus had been closed, and I could no longer hear the sound of students reading aloud and the sound of frolicking between classes.

Why are most of the once bustling rural primary schools now gone?I have summarized the following reasons:

With the loss of rural population, many young people have gone to the city to work or settle down, and most of them have brought their children with them, so that their children have gone to school in the city.

The educational resources of the city are better, and parents want to give their children a good educational environment and hope that their children will get ahead, so they will try to let their children go to school in the city with better educational resources.

With the support of education funds, education is now tilted towards the cities, and schools in cities can get more financial support, while most rural primary schools are in a difficult situation.

The choice of teachers, the same choice, most teachers will choose urban primary schools with better conditions and salaries, so it is difficult for rural primary schools to retain teachers.

The population growth rate has decreased, and now the birth rate is relatively low, and the birth population is difficult to support the operation of the school, resulting in only a few people in some rural primary schools, and the same phenomenon also appears in kindergartens, and many kindergartens have difficulty in enrolling.

Regardless of whether the village school will disappear in the future, it carries the needs of the development of an era, and will eventually be submerged in the process of history, leaving only good memories.
