Similar Banking Exams Doubts

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been printed in the bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.The education sector in India is in ferment, hit by a storm long waiting to happen. The butterfly that flapped its wings was the much-reiterated statement in a much-publicized report that hardly a fourth of graduating engineers, and an even smaller percentage of other graduates, was of employable quality for IT-BPO jobs. This triggered a cyclone when similar views were echoed by other sectors which led to widespread debate. Increased industry-academia interaction, “finishing schools”, and other efforts were initiated as immediate measures to bridge skill deficits. These, however, did not work as some felt that these are but band-aid solutions; instead, radical systemic reform is necessary.Yet, there will be serious challenges to overdue reforms in the education system. In India-as in many countries-education is treated as a holy cow; sadly, the administrative system that oversees it has also been deceived. Today, unfortunately, there is no protest against selling drinking water or paying to be cured of illness, or for having to buy food when one is poor and starving; nor is there an outcry that in all these cases there are commercial companies operating on a profit-making basis. Why then is there an instinctively adverse reaction to the formal entry of ‘for-profit’ institutes in the realm of education? Is potable water, health or food, less basic a need, less important a right, than higher education?While there are strong arguments for free or subsidized higher education, we are not writing on a blank page. Some individuals and businessmen had entered this sector long back and found devious ways of making money. Though the law stipulates that educational institutes must be ‘not-for-profit’ trusts or societies. Yet, there is opposition to the entry of ‘for-profit’ corporations, which would be more transparent and accountable. As a result, desperately needed investment in promoting the wider reach of quality education has stagnated at a time when financial figures indicate that the allocation of funds for the purpose is but a fourth of the need.Well-run corporate organizations, within an appropriate regulatory framework, would be far better than the so-called trusts which-barring some noteworthy exceptions-are a blot on education. However, it is not necessarily a question of choosing one over the other; different organizational forms can coexist, as they do in the health sector. A regulatory framework which creates competition, in tandem with a rating system, would automatically ensure the quality and relevance of education. As in sectors like telecom, and packaged goods, organizations will quickly expand into the hinterland to tap the large unmet demand. Easy Loan/ scholarship arrangements would ensure affordability and access.The only real structural reform in higher education was the creation of the institutes for technology and management. They were also given autonomy and freedom beyond that of the universities. However, in the last few years, determined efforts have been underway to curb their autonomy. These institutes, however, need freedom to decide on recruitment, salaries and admissions, so as to compete globally.However, such institutes will be few. Therefore, we need a regulatory framework that will enable and encourage States and the Centre, genuine philanthropists and also corporates to set up quality educational institutions. The regulatory system needs only to ensure transparency, accountability, competition and widely-available independent assessments or ratings. It is time for radical thinking, bold experimentation and new structures; it is time for the government to bite the bullet.Q. Which of the following is not true in context of the given passage?

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below them. Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.Every discussion on Indian education boils down to one conclusion: The Government is not spending enough. It appears a foregone conclusion that the quality of education depends upon expenditure and as the Government is not spending six per cent of its GDP, quality will not improve (it is said that the Government must spend at least six per cent of its GDP on education but it never crosses more than four per cent). This calculation is not appropriate in the Indian context. In Western countries, parents don't spend much on children's education. School education is Government-funded, because of the size of the countries and small number of children. Quality, therefore, is manageable. Though India must be spending more in overall public school education compared to better performing nations, due to the sheer size of the sector, quality becomes unmanageable and the money spent is, hence, wasted.We need to look at the process of spending as well. We must be an exceptional nation that constructs staff quarters and also maintains them at a subsidised price. If the Government reassesses house rent as a part of the Pay Commission every 10 years, all employees should be able to find decent accommodation within that amount in towns where they work. Our institutions become a liability because funds are spent more on construction of staff quarters and creating infrastructure which soon becomes unusable, than on teaching-learning activities. Even if we increase expenditure on education and use the Budget for the construction of staff quarters, how will it improve (directly) the quality of education? All Government servants, in a period of four years, are paid for one home visit and one paid ‘leave travel' to any part of the country and even abroad. Employees and their family members are all paid for. It needs to be reassessed if such welfare measures need to be continued or stopped and money be spent on buying more books for the libraries, consumables for the laboratories and scholarships for the learners. This money could have been better utilised if the learners from the Scheduled communities were given lodging and good quality coaching during vacations. We need to re-examine our welfare measures in all sectors, especially in education.A large portion of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan Budget was spent on construction of school buildings and toilets which have already become unusable. Travel to any village and you can see the dilapidated school building where classroom teaching cannot be organised. Similarly, construction and maintenance of students' hostel consume a large portion of the Budget but the quality of service is pathetic because the students are not directly paying. Learners feel they are getting subsidised services so they have forfeited the right to demand quality service. Whereas, teaching-learning and teachers' development should have been the main focus. We need to reassess the functioning of institutions and decide where to put our resources. At present, we don't seem to be spending on appropriate heads. There are more Indian students in the US and British universities than in other countries who are paid for by the parents. Parents who can afford to spend substantial amounts on education of their children prefer to send their children abroad than make them study in an Indian university as quality of education is poor. Most institutions in the US and the UK have large numbers of Indian, Chinese and East Asian countries because a substantial number of households from these regions can afford to pay for the education of their wards at best schools and colleges.Government policies have put undeserving learners and unqualified teachers in all public institutions. Governments do it to hide their failure to design and implement policies which reach out to the less-privileged. If we want the Indian education to compete with the best-performing countries, we must change our method of spending. Best-performing learners must be paid and supported. Meritorious students should be paid and not the institutions. Organisations which can attract the most talented learners should be funded and not all just because the Government established them. There are employees — teaching as well as non-teaching — who also have to be sustained till their retirement. We must give attractive perks to attract the best of talent. Unfortunately, this has not happened. We need to re-examine our perks policy.Q. What is the foregone conclusion that the passage talks about?
