The results showed that the four subjects, namely subjects M, H, BL, and YMJ located in rural areas, had a good development of education digitalization, it was just that there were obstacles from several factors, namely the factor of poor infrastructure readiness with the availability of limited facilities and the lack of training for teachers who work as educators in rural areas. This constraint on the teacher readiness factor is also influenced by the age of educators, most of whom are 40 years old and above and are constrained by the lack of technological knowledge they have.
