This study explores the role of educational policy implementation in reducing urban-rural learning disparities through scholarship programs. Educational disparities between urban and rural areas have persisted across many nations, affecting student outcomes due to differences in access to resources, infrastructure, and qualified teachers. Scholarship programs have emerged as an effective policy tool to address these gaps, providing financial support and enabling rural students to pursue higher education opportunities. This research examines the impact of scholarship policies on bridging the urban-rural education divide, focusing on the performance outcomes of scholarship recipients compared to non-recipients. The study also discusses the socio-economic barriers and challenges faced by rural students and evaluates how scholarships, along with additional support mechanisms such as mentorship and academic workshops, contribute to improving academic performance. The findings suggest that while scholarships have a significant positive effect on academic outcomes, a more comprehensive approach, including better infrastructure, teacher quality, and socio-emotional support, is necessary to fully address educational inequities. This research provides insights into how well-designed scholarship programs, embedded within broader educational reforms, can effectively reduce disparities in educational access and outcomes between urban and rural students.

This study explores the potential of mobile educational applications to enhance student-centered inquiry-based learning (IBL) in secondary school classrooms. As traditional, teacher-centered pedagogies fail to adequately engage students in critical thinking and problem-solving, IBL offers a promising alternative that encourages active participation and deeper learning. The research investigates how mobile applications can support IBL by facilitating the inquiry process, such as data collection, hypothesis formulation, and collaboration. Through a quasi-experimental design involving secondary school students, the study compares the effectiveness of traditional teaching methods and mobile-assisted IBL. Results indicate that students using mobile applications showed significant improvements in critical thinking, engagement, and academic performance compared to those taught through traditional methods. Teachers and students both reported high satisfaction with mobile apps, particularly in terms of ease of use and educational value. The findings suggest that integrating mobile technologies into the classroom can create more interactive, accessible, and personalized learning experiences, fostering critical thinking and enhancing student outcomes. However, challenges related to infrastructure, teacher training, and digital literacy must be addressed to fully harness the potential of mobile-assisted inquiry-based learning.
