SECTION – A (READING)
Q.1 Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate
children only for the purpose of educating them; our purpose is to fit them for life. As
soon as we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to choose a
system of education which will really prepare children for life. It is not enough just to
choose the first system of education one finds, or to continue with one’s old system of
education without examining it to see whether it in fact, suits or not. In many modern
countries, it has for sometime been fashionable to think that, by free education for all,
whether rich or poor, clever or stupid-one can solve all the problems of society and build
a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough, we find
in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees than there are jobs
for them to fill. Because of their degrees, they refuse to do what they think low work, and
in fact work with the hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.
But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of completely
uneducated farmer is, far more important than that of a professor; we can live without
education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the
rubbish away from our houses, we would get terrible disease in our towns. In countries
where there are no servants because everyone is ashamed at doing such work, the
professors have to waste much of their time doing manual housework. In fact, when we
say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life it means that we must be educated I
such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever job is suited to his brain, aptitude and
ability and secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it
is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work, or to scorn someone else. Only such a kind of
education can be called valuable to the society.
