Q.1 Read the passage given below and answer the following questions- (8)
The system of education in our country is defective. It is not keeping pace with the pas¬sage of time. It follows the pattern which was valid five decades ago.
The aim of education is to prepare students for the tough battle of life. The basic needs of life are a sound mind in a sound body, and skill to make a living. It widens the sphere of knowledge and builds our character. In short, education should turn out a strong team of responsible citizens.
Education has to be related to life and also the needs of the nation. Not gold but only men of character make a nation great and strong.
It is unfortunate that our policy-makers give little importance to moral education and noble values. They set up schools and colleges only to turn out an army of graduates, good for nothing. We need men with brain, we need good scientists and technicians, we need tough soldiers for the army.
Education for all sounds sweet. But mere slogans and schemes on paper won’t take us far. Our leaders don’t have the will to serve the nation. Also schemes fail at the ground level.
Why is our education system wrong?
What is the aim of our education system?
What does our nation need?
Who can make the nation strong?
Why do all our experiments fail to improve the quality of our education system?
Find words from the above passage that mean the opposite to-
Soft/delicate
Weak
Near
