Question 1

Direction: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Certain words are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the these.

There was a time when classrooms were a bastion of tradition, dominated by blackboards, chalk and textbooks. But the rapid evolution of technology means there’s a need to advance how education is delivered to young people.

Among the emerging “edtech” start-ups are those helping teachers tackle subjects such as maths and English in a more innovative way. In one such hugely successful app, teachers can create their own games and quizzes on the platform, or choose from a long list of existing games, which are displayed on a shared screen – an example might be a timed quiz based on multiplication tables, learning about flags, or questions about the water cycle. Students participate on their own devices and can earn points and challenge other classes in different locations.

According to the company’s co-founder, the app’s success is down to its ability to create an “inclusive classroom”. The feedback from teachers has been particularly positive – headteachers hearing a class being raucous and presuming they need telling off are often happy to discover the pupils are simply playing a game. All of a sudden being expressive and loud is seen as positive. The technology brings students together, rather than isolating them.

Technology is helping teachers cope at work too. With a heavy workload contributing to the recruitment and retention crisis in teaching, automating some of the paperwork helps teachers concentrate on what they joined the profession to do – teach. From facilitating video feedback, lesson plans and marking online, to helping teachers share resources, various start-ups are providing platforms which are essentially an intranet that connects teachers with each other, as well as with students and parents.

While many start-ups focus on schools, others recognise that education in the 21st century doesn’t just rely on the classroom. One of the start-ups not only supplies its toys – which children build and bring to life through electronics and programming – to thousands of schools but also sells to customers directly through e-commerce and deals with retailers like John Lewis and Maplin. According to the company’s CEO, the world of learning and play _________(A)_________ and are becoming more integrated.

It’s not just the teachers looking for new, fun products to aid with developing 21st-century skills, but parents too as they look to supplement their child’s education out of school. The parents believe that the things that their kids need to learn today aren’t necessarily learned at school. Education is often based on a very traditional system which doesn’t always accommodate new ways of learning and new ways of thinking.

Some businesses insist working in tandem with schools is the best way to improve that system. Working with schools will become easier as tech-focused millennials move up the ladder and become the decision-makers in the education sector. For the start-ups, the key to achieving success in the evolving education sector is about understanding that you need to offer more than just the technology. Schools are quite unique organisations. They don’t behave in the same way as businesses do. It’s about having exciting new technological solutions but it’s about all the things that go around that – being on the end of the phone, being able to provide support, being able to understand teachers’ lives, as well as having fantastic tech.

Question 8

Direction: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Certain words are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of these.

The President Ram Nath Kovind on Monday nominated former Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi to the Rajya Sabha. Gogoi will become one of the “eminent members” of the Upper House of Parliament sent by the Centre but has six months to decide if he wants to affiliate himself to a political party. With this appointment, the concept of judicial independence, the core of the separation of powers mandated by the Constitution, is on ventilator support.

In 2018, Gogoi, while heading a five-judge bench, had remarked that post-retirement jobs for judges are a scar on the idea of judicial independence. Last year, when he conducted an extraordinary hearing on a Saturday morning following accusations of sexual harassment against him by a woman employee of the court, Gogoi firmly declared that all that a judge had was his reputation. He noted that his relatively low financial savings were evidence of his independence as a judge, claiming that his peon made more money than him.

On Monday, these lofty declarations came to naught. Post-retirement jobs are used by the political establishment like a carrot on a stick. More than being a reward for the retired judge, the offer of a cushy post-retirement job is a message to judges who are still working: help us and we will take care of you later.

Gogoi’s appointment to the Rajya Sabha is unprecedented. Some supporters of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party have noted that the Congress nominated former Chief Justice Ranganath Misra to the Rajya Sabha in 1998 after he retired. The decision was heavily criticised as being a reward for Misra’s handling of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. As head of a one-man committee that inquired into the riots, his report implicated several Congress leaders but gave the party a clean chit. Still, Misra’s nomination to the Upper House came eight years after he had retired, and when the Congress was in Opposition.

III. The peon earned more money than Gogoi because he took bribes.
