D. READING
1. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said
that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference between schooling and education
implied by this remark is important.
Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no limits. It can
take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in the kitchen or on a tractor. It includes
both the formal learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of informal learning. The agent
(doer) of education can vary from respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics on the radio,
from a child to a famous scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces
surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other
religions. People receive education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a
lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral part
of one's entire life.
Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one
setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take
assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices
of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of
government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school
students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their
communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding
the formalized process of schooling.
