Type: article

Abstract: HRMARS - The challenges and needs of teachers in rural primary schools are multifaceted and complex, affecting their ability to provide high-quality education. This systematic literature review explores these issues by analyzing 30 selected studies. The review identifies critical challenges such as the scarcity of teaching resources, professional isolation, logistical and infrastructural barriers, and the complexities of multi-grade teaching. Additionally, it highlights the specific needs of rural teachers, including targeted professional development, robust support systems, and improved infrastructure. The findings underscore the importance of addressing these challenges through strategic resource allocation, tailored training programs, and community engagement. By understanding and addressing these needs, stakeholders can enhance educational outcomes and support the professional and personal well-being of rural primary school teachers.
