Revision 3 Class 6
Q1 Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
The system of education in our country is defective. It is not keeping pace with the
passage 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.
