D should be the answer?? (Question: 248655.0 )

"This could have been a glaring example of educational achievement IF the millions are not still stranded."
This says otherwise. It implies that this achievement is not commendable.

Question:

DIRECTIONS: In questions below you have brief passages with questions following each passage. Read the passages carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the questions out of the four alternatives.


The constitution of every country reflects its ethos and also its main concern. The Constitution of India accordingly identified universal elementary education as one of the major goals to be achieved and mandated a time frame of 10 years for the same. This was a revolutionary vision in a newly independent large country that had to struggle on several fronts like food, nutrition, health, energy, security and lack of resources to implement its developmental initiatives. Of course, the country had the requisite intellectual and professional manpower of its own to have an indigenous perspective of its requirements. Frontline leaders of the freedom struggle had realised the significance of education on the one hand and the need to develop a model suitable for the Indian situation on the other. It is another story that the 10 years target still remains elusive. The achievements too are significant.


Nearly double the population of India at the time of independence is now literate. This could have been a glaring example of educational achievement, if the millions were not still illiterate. The concerns of population, poverty, environment, energy, water, urbanisation and several others remain prominent. The social, cultural and economic contexts become the determining factors for educational policies and curriculum in schools.


The first major educational policy formulation in the post-Independence period was made as a consequence of the Kothari Commission Report (1964-66) in 1968. The restructuring of the school education system in 10 + 2 + 3 pattern is one of the visible outcomes of this policy. It also made a recommendation of far- reaching consequence by introducing undifferentiated curriculum for 10 years schooling, for both boys and girls.


For the first time science and mathematics were made compulsory components of 10 years schooling again for both boys and girls. This recommendation has made effective and visible contribution in generating manpower, suitable for all sectors of development in national initiatives. The implementation of the 1968 policy in school sector at the national level was logically achieved through the school curriculum framework developed by the NCERT in 1975.

What according to the passage, can be considered a commendable achievement?

Options:
A) Formulation of National Educational policy
B) The reflection of a country’s ethos by its constitution
C) That nearly double the population of India at the time of independence is now literate
D) Introduction of undifferentiated curriculum for 10 years schooling
Solution:
Ans: (c) From the first two lines of the second paragraph, it is clear that growth in the literacy rate is a commendable achievement.
