Question Description
Directions: In view of the passage given below, choose the best option for question.The education system is breeding more and more frustration among both students and teachers. And yet no one seems too clear about what can be done to make it more meaningful. Many reforms have been discussed at length but have come to nothing for one reason or another. The authorities are now peddling the idea of autonomous colleges as a means of toning up teaching standards. They argue that by allowing certain colleges to introduce their own courses, to hold seminars, and above all, to evolve their won method of assessing students, students will get a better deal. Indeed they made out that such colleges will have a free hand in nearly everything except granting degree. In theory, all this sounds attractive enough. But there is little to show that the management concerned are keen on such reforms. Even today, nothing prevents a college from inviting guest speakers on specialized subjects or holding courses in English for vernacular students. But not a single one of those who are now clamouring for autonomy has bothered to do so. It is no secret that colleges which may be freed to an extent from university control are highly elitist. In Mumbai, for example, there is a big cultural gulf between city colleges and suburban colleges. If some of the former are now given a degree of autonomy, it will only heighten this disparity. The answer to the vexed problem of declining standards in higher education does not lie in encouraging the growth of model institutions but in improving overall standards. This is, of course, easier said than done, since more young people are seeking degrees. The only solution however unpalatable it may sound, is to drastically reduce the number of those who are admitted to colleges. Even though there is political pressure on many State Government to build new colleges and to reserve more seats for backward classes, it will be sheer folly to expand such facilities recklessly without giving any thought to the quality of education imparted. If admissions are made far more selective, it will automatically reduce the number of entrants. This should apply particularly to new colleges, many of which are little more than degree factories. Only then can the authorities hope to bring down the teacher-student ratio to manageable proportions, say one to twenty. What is more, teacher should be given refresher courses every summer vacation to brush up their knowledge. Besides, if college staff and the students a great deal. The library can subscribe internet journals and books. At the same time, however, it will be unfair to deny college education to thousands of young men and women unless employers stop insisting on degrees even for clerical jobs. For a start, why can not the Government disqualify graduates from securing certain jobs – say class III and class IV posts? Once the link between degrees and jobs is served at least in some important departments, it will make young think twice before joining college.How, according to the situation, can the number of students taking college education be reduced?a)By reducing the number of collegesb)By making selective admissionsc)By removing some of the students already admittedd)By abolishing the reservation of seats for backward classesCorrect answer is option 'B'.
