Question Description
Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.The pandemic has forced schooling to move online, but the burden of digital inequality has fallen on the great majority of children who do not have access to smartphones, let alone laptops, or the Internet. But is there no alternative to virtual classrooms? Several creative teacher-led initiatives on the ground, reported in this newspaper, demonstrate that it is not just desirable but also possible for governments and communities to design solutions that take the last child along.In Karnataka, for instance, the vatara shaale model of community schooling - using open community spaces like temples, courtyards and prayer halls to teach children in small groups, with social distancing norms in place - began when a group of government school teachers sought to create a pandemic classroom that was inclusive. Like in many other states, only about 30 per cent of children in the state have digital access. Spliced for other factors like caste and gender, it throws up a grim picture - as well as the possibility that children, especially in the more impoverished parts, would be sucked into wage labour or child marriage. Similarly, in Sikkim, a maths teacher's concern for the students of her village led her to visit them at their home for short lessons that ensure they do not fall off the learning grid. The local administration of a village in Bastar, Chhattisgarh, has allowed teachers to broadcast English lessons through loudspeakers. Both the Sikkim and Karnataka state governments have responded by absorbing elements of these innovations in new learning programmes devised to adapt to the COVID-19 challenge.Few they might be, but these examples are a glimmer of hope in an education system that stifles creativity in both teachers and students. They also show up the generalisation of the commitment-less, under trained government school teacher as a lazy stereotype. The fact is that schools and teachers exist in a continuum with local communities, and are more responsive to their needs than they are given credit for. Many teachers used the disruption of the pandemic to come up with solutions that adapted to their environments and local needs - and placed the concerns of children who might be left behind at the centre, without being told to by government circulars.Q. As per the Author, What will happen if the children are not educated during this pandemic in the remote and poor areas?a)The children would force their parents to purchase smartphones for virtual education.b)The children might be forced into daily wage jobs.c)The children would become lazy and weak.d)The children would become less efficient and less techno savvy.Correct answer is option 'B'.
