In many countries, good schools and medical facilities are available only in cities. Some people think new teachers and doctors should work in rural areas for a few years, but others think everyone should be free to choose where they work. Discuss and give your own opinion.

Introduction: a big gap is there between the urban and rural areas, and both approaches have their merits and demerits.

Paragraph 1: Advantages of having teachers and doctors work in rural areas –

a.  people in the villages will have access to medical care and education which they are deprived of normally.

b.  It is also good for the teachers and doctors who are fresh from university to translate their theoretical knowledge into practice.

Paragraph 2: This compulsory policy may have some negative effects.

a.  Everyone has a right to work where one pleases.

b.  Such enforcement may result in working passively and there will be no motivation. So the rural residents may not get appropriate treatment and service.

c.   Fewer and fewer students would choose such majors and careers and so in the long run there would be shortage of such professionals.

Conclusion: Sending doctors and teachers to rural areas would be an ideal situation but the government should offer some financial and non-financial schemes.
