Teaching English in Rural Areas

I was just wondering if it makes any sense to have post-graduate (those who graduated with a Bachelor's degree) students become Teaching Assistants in rural areas to help with teaching of Maths/Science/English. They can be given academic credits, and a minimal salary.

These TA's should come from not only public universities but also private ones. And we should not limit to only local students - the international folks can also participate (in fact they'd probably pay for the privilege! Imagine that!)

I'm sure there's a lot more details in the implementation, but hey, I'm a vision type person :)
