सुदूर क्षेत्रों में स्थित विद्यालय प्रायः सरकारी नियमों के अनुसार पूर्ण रूप से काम नहीं कर पाते हैं। हालाँकि, यदि उन पर ये नियम कठोरता से लागू किए जाएँ, तो अधिकतर विद्यालय बंद हो जाएँगे। एक प्रशासनिक अधिकारी को नियमों को लागू करने और विद्यार्थियों के शैक्षणिक अधिकारों के बीच कैसे संतुलन स्थापित करना चाहिए?
