Test - IV: General EnglishDirections (Q. 151-160) : Read the
following passage carefully and answer the questions givenbelow it.
Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate
them whileanswering some of the questions.
Right of entry to education, an ample teaching-learning
environment, a suitable curriculum andan empowered and
all-encompassing faculty are four essential prerequisites of an
education systemthat seeks to enable social transformation. While
educational reform since the 1980s was stronglyfocused on the first
two elements, the late 1990s brought the role of the curriculum
into nationalfocus. The critical link that binds these four
critical elements together-the activity of the faculty-continues to
be cast aside by political ideologies of most hues, contemporary
curriculum reformefforts and the professional practices of the
faculty.
Far-reaching educational initiatives of both the Left and the
Right have recognised the potentialpower of the faculty. In
multiple experiments, they have used this dormant force to build
committedinstitutions and cadres of facilities dedicated to their
particular causes. In many instances, this hasled to extreme
politicisation of the college faculty. In others, it has led to the
education of a generationof students in half-truths underpinned by
the personal beliefs, sectarian concerns and folk pedagogyof
faculties who have had little access themselves to education and
training in related areas.
Over the last decade or so, educational reform has included,
apart from access, a focus ondeveloping alternative text materials
and the training of faculty to handle these materials,
withoutdirectly engaging with the issue of curriculum revamp. At
the turn of the 20th century, a majornational curriculum redesign
was initiated following the change of political regime at the
centre. Thesubsequent development of college programme came under
wide public scrutiny and debate. Issuesof equity, inclusion and
exclusion, learner medley, religious identity and communalism
gainedconsiderable importance in the curriculum debates that
followed. For instance, scholars argued that... the curriculum,
while loud on rhetoric, fails to address the quality of education
that students ofunderprivileged and marginalised groups experience.
Several other critics described the revisedcurriculum as a
retrogressive step in education that sought to impose the religious
agenda in thegarb of national identity.
The subsequent change of national government in 2004 led to the
curriculum review in 2005,underlining a new political interest in
the role of education in national development, its role in
socialmobilisation and transformation directed specifically at
questions of caste and gender asymmetryand minority empowerment.
Deeper than these politically driven initiatives, however, the
professionalneed for curriculum review emerges from the long
ossification of a national education system thatcontinues to view
faculty as dispensers of information and students as passive
recipients of aneducation sought to be delivered in four-walled
classrooms with little scope to develop criticalthinking and
understanding.
