COMPREHENSION
Right of entry to education, an ample teaching – learning environment, a suitable curriculum and an empowered and all-
encompassing faculty are four essential prerequisites of an education system that seeks to enable social transformation. While
educational reform since the 1980s was strongly focused on the first two elements, the late 1990s brought the role of the
curriculum into national focus. The critical link that binds these four critical elements together – the activity of the faculty
continues to be cast aside, by political ideologies of most hues, contemporary curriculum reform efforts and the professional
practices of the faculty.
Far-reaching educational initiatives of both the Left and the Right have recognized the potential power of the faculty. In multiple
experiments, they have used this dormant force to build committed institutions and cadres of faculties dedicated to their
particular causes. In many instances this has led to extreme politicization of the college faculty. In others it has led to the education
of a generation of students in half-truths underpinned by the personal beliefs, sectarian concerns and folk pedagogy of faculties
who have had little access themselves to education and training in related areas.
Over the last decade or so, educational reform has included, apart from access, a focus on developing alternative text materials
and the training of faculty to handle these materials, without directly engaging with the issue of curriculum revamp. At the turn of
the 20th century, a major national curriculum redesign was initiated following the change of political regime at the centre. The
The subsequent change of national government in 2004, led to the curriculum review in 2005 underlining a new political interest
in the role of education in national development, its role in social mobilization and transformation directed specifically at
questions of caste and gender asymmetry and minority empowerment. Deeper than these politically driven initiatives, however,
the professional need for curriculum review emerges from the long ossification of a national education system that continues to
view faculty as “dispensers of information” and students as “passive recipients” of an “education”, sought to be “delivered” in four-
walled classrooms with little scope to develop critical thinking and understanding.

Read the following short passages and choose the best answers to the questions that follow each passage.
59. Therapists have just completed an extensive study of recently delinquent juveniles in order to determine which factors contributed
most to the delinquency. The researchers found that in a great majority of the cases of delinquency, the parents met, on average, fewer than
4 times per week with their children. From this data, the therapists have determined that a failure to spend time together with the children
is a major factor leading to delinquency.
Which one of the following, if true, would cast the most doubt on the researcher’s hypothesis?
(a) Parents and children in the study who reported that they met each other more than four times per week also indicated that they
tended to perceive their relationships as healthy.
(b) In many cases, people in unhappy family tend to express their displeasure by avoiding contact with each other when possible.
(c) Most of the families in the study who were unable to meet often with each other worked outside of the home.
(d) Many families who have a long and strong family bonding met each other fewer than four times per week.

material written on a computer and sent electronically with no use of paper at all. Therefore, less printer paper will be used as a result of

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument above?
(a) The amount of printer paper needed to explain the electronic study material is less than the amount that would have been used
for handwritten material.
(b) Coaching centres that used more printer paper were more likely to switch to electronic materials than centres that used less
printer paper.
(d) More printer paper was used to create manuals for the use of electronic study materials than was used to write handwritten
materials.

preceded by images of a mighty and violent tsunami wave, the audience thought the girl’s face registered fear. Media news teams must be
careful to avoid such manipulation of their viewers.
