Direction (21-30) : Read the following passage carefully and answer the question
given. Certain words / phrases have been given in bold to help you locate them
while answering some of the questions.
Education in most of the developing world is shocking. Half the children in
South Asia and a third of those in Africa who complete four years of schooling
cannot read properly. In India 60% of six- to 14-year-olds cannot read at the level
of a child who has finished two years of schooling.
Most governments have promised to provide universal primary education and
to promote secondary education. But even when public schools exist, they often
fail to do so. Results of the survey conducted in this respect by the World Bank
’s
depicted worrisome results. In rural Indian schools, a quarter of teachers was
absent. In Africa, the teacher-absenteeism rates ranged between 15-25%. Pakistan
recently discovered that it had over 8,000 non-existent state schools, 17% of the
ar
total. Sierra Leone spotted 6,000 “ghost” teachers, nearly a fifth the number on
the State payroll.
Powerful teachers’ unions are part of the problem. They often see jobs as
hereditary sinecures, the State education budget as a revenue stream to be
milked and any attempt to monitor the quality of education as an intrusion. The
dh
unions can be fearsome enemies, so governments leave them to run schools in
E
the interests of teachers rather than pupils.
The failure of State education, combined with the shift in emerging economies
from farming to jobs that need at least a modicum of education, has caused a
private-school boom. According to the World Bank, across the developing world, a
fifth of primary-school pupils are enrolled in private schools, twice as many as 20
ee
years ago. So many private schools are unregistered that the real figure is likely
to be much higher. A census in Lagos found 12,000 private schools, four times as
many as on government records. Across Nigeria 26% of primary-age children
C
were in private schools in 2010, up from 18% in 2004. In India in 2013, 29% were,
up from 19% in 2006. In Liberia and Sierra Leone, around 60% and 50% respectively
Sr

Sreedhar’s CCE I B PS SO Pr el i m s - M T–44
suggested that private pupils performed better in English and Hindi than public-
school pupils and at a similar level in mathematics and Telugu, the local language.
The private schools achieved these results at a third of the cost of the public
schools. Lastly, private schools are innovative.
Since technology has great (though as yet mostly unrealised) potential in
education, this could be important. Bridge gives teachers tablets linked to a central
system that provides teaching materials and monitors their work. Such robo-
teaching may not be ideal, but it is better than lessons without either materials
or monitoring.
Critics of the private sector are right that it has problems. Quality ranges
from top-notch international standard to not much more than cheap child care.
’s
But the alternative is often a public school that is worse — or no school at all.
21. As mentioned in the passage, teachers’ unions pose a threat to the education
