24. Both graphs are from the Economic Monitor
The first graph shows that the income gap between urban and rural areas has widened. In the 1970s and 1980s, there was a narrowing of the income gap between urban and rural areas, but this gap has increased again in the last two decades.
2nd graph shows the proportion of students scoring less than 400 on the TIMSS achievement test. Students from rural schools perform significantly worse on tests than their peers in urban areas. Disparities within states between rural and urban areas are most prevalent in poorer states like Sabah, Kelantan, and Melaka. This is potentially as a result of less favorable conditions in rural schools, and highlights the inequality of basic education between rural and urban areas.Both graphs are from the Economic Monitor
