PendahuluanPendidikan merupakan salah satu kebutuhan yang mendasar bagi manusia. Ada banyak pelajaran yang diajarkan kepada masyarakat Indonesia dari Pendidikan dasar sampai dengan di tingkat perguruan tinggi. Meskipun demikian, dalam proses belajar itu sendiri terkadang terdapat kelemahan. Hal ini dapat terlihat dari sarana dan prasarana yang ada di daerah-daerah yang keberadaanya cukup jauh dari ibukota. Sarana dan prasarana yang didapatkan oleh para siswa di daerah berbeda dengan sarana dan prasarana yang didapatkan oleh siswa di kota besar. Akibatnya, pengetahuan anak-anak yang memiliki latar belakang pendidikan di perkotaan biasanya terdapat kesenjangan dengan anak-anak yang berada di daerah. Kesenjangan ini akan semakin nampak jelas ketika mereka masuk di jenjang perguruan tinggi.
