“…Sin embargo, ha sido evidente la división en el acceso a la educación superior entre los jóvenes de las zonas rural y urbana. Esto debido a que el acceso a alimentos se posecionó por sobre la adquisición de servicios de internet o equipos para acceder a la educación (Trahar et al, 2020).…”

“…Las zonas rurales enfrentan varios retos que no son frecuentes en las ciudades como el cierre de escuelas, la precarización de los sistemas de salud, la falta de fuentes de financiamiento, y el poco acceso a internet. Esto deriva en problemas estructurales para la consecución de un empleo formal (Rosvall, 2020;Bairagya, 2012;Trahar et al, 2020). Aunque muchos países se han comprometido en aumentar el acceso a la educación superior, estos esfuerzos aún no son suficientes, más aún 1 PEA: todas las personas mayores a 15 años que trabajaron al menos una hora en la semana, o, aunque no trabajaron, tuvieron trabajo (ocupados), o bien las personas que no tenían empleo, pero estaban disponibles para trabajar y están en la búsqueda de empleo (desempleados) (Ulcuango et al, 2021).…”

In Ecuador, since 2017, the representativeness of full employment had been showing a decline among the number of employed persons in rural and urban areas. This structural problem joins a break in economic growth of the country and the region. In this sense, this study aims to highlight the factors that determine access to non-full employment of young people in rural areas. For this, the estimation of a probit model is carried out. The results show the need to establish differentiated policies for access to full employment for rural youth.

Objective: To investigate how a rural simulation activity influenced physiotherapy students' rural empathy, and to explore students' perception of the activity. Setting: A metropolitan university in Queensland, Australia. Participants: Second year undergraduate physiotherapy students. Design: A single cohort pre-test post-test evaluation was undertaken to evaluate a rural simulation activity. Participants received the rural simulation activity, featuring an immersive video and telehealth simulation with a standardised patient portrayed by an actor. Participants undertook a structured debrief and guided reflection following the simulation. Outcome measures included the Rural Comprehensive State Empathy Scale (R-CSES) and the Satisfaction with Simulation Experience Scale. Group interviews were undertaken regarding participant perceptions of the activity. Wilcoxon Rank-Sum tests were used to analyse survey data, and group interview data were subject to thematic analyses. Results: A total of 102 students undertook the activity, with an outcome measure response rate of 92.2% (94/102). Intra-personal rural empathy increased following the activity as demonstrated by the overall R-CSES score [pre-test: 101.5 (90-110.75) vs post-test 107 (100-120); p = <0.001; r = 0.39]. There was high satisfaction with the experience [mean SSES score = 18/21]. Two themes were generated from the group interview data: (1) effect on perceptions of rural practice and (2) feedback regarding the simulation. Conclusion:A rural simulation activity using an immersive video, standardised patient, and a structured debrief increased physiotherapy students' empathy towards Australians living in rural settings. Students were satisfied with the activity and felt that it improved their understanding of the challenges of rural healthcare.

“…The second one describes the education policies in rural areas from the basic primary to the higher level, characterized by offering a holistic vision of the education system in these areas without providing details on certain aspects (Arias Gaviria, 2017). Similarly, in the international literature, the analysis of public policies for access to higher education in rural areas has not been studied in depth but rather has concentrated on comparing the effects of this type of policy after its implementation to discover if the gap with urban areas has been reduced and if living standards have been improved through the materialization of the benefits of the educational level (Chankseliani et al, 2020; Mgqwashu et al, 2020; Trahar et al, 2020). There is therefore no exclusive line of thought to carry out an exhaustive analysis of public policies for access to higher education in relation to rural areas.…”

Education can be seen as a driver for social development because people with a higher level of education can access a better income and a better quality of life. The Colombian state has proclaimed various public policies that guarantee this right, especially for rural populations that face more disparities resulting from the internal armed conflict and drug trafficking, among other issues. The purpose of this article is to describe the evolution of public policies for access to rural higher education in Colombia, as well as the starting point of the policies implemented. An interpretative method was adopted to consider the purpose of public policies from various perspectives. The results show that education can be perceived as one of the ways in which states can overcome social disparities in rural areas, which would mean different public policies for access, permanence, and timely graduation to higher education.
