    [abstract] => Access to quality education remains a significant challenge for rural students, particularly in mathematics, due to socioeconomic, cognitive, and institutional barriers. This study examines the key obstacles hindering rural students' access to mathematics education, focusing on socioeconomic status (SES), learning resources and mathematical aptitude. Rural students often face resource limitations, including inadequate school infrastructure, fewer dedicated teachers, and limited access to technology, which disproportionately affects their learning outcomes. The study employs a comparative approach, examining secondary school students across various schools in both rural and urban to identify differences in SES, mathematical aptitude and academic performance in mathematics. A sample of 891 secondary school students was examined using standardized SES scale, mathematical aptitude tests, and academic performance records. It was found that there is a significant variation between urban and rural areas in SES, mathematical aptitude, and academic achievement in mathematics highlighting the role of environmental factors and availability of learning resources in shaping student performance in mathematics. The study also highlights a strong positive correlation between SES and academic achievement in mathematics, emphasizing the role of rural family background in shaping educational outcomes. Addressing these barriers is crucial for fostering equitable learning opportunities to mathematics education and creating future career prospects for rural students.
