GENERAL ENGLISH
Directions (41-55) : Read the
following passage carefully and answer the question given below it. Certain words have been printed in bold
to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
The education sector in India is
in lei ment, hit by a storm long waiting to happen. The butterfly that
flapped its wings was the much-reiterated statement in a much publicised
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 interac
tion, "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 lndia-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 subsidised 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'forprofit' coroprates, which would be
more transparent and accountable.
As a result, desperately needed in-
