Question : As a Morally and physically weak Roman empire crumbled, Morally and physically strong teutonic barbarians overran the lends that once were pride of the Latins. The visigoths overran Spain, And vandals overran North Africa. The Francs overran Gaul, the angels and saxons overran Britain and the ostrogroths overran Italy. These invasions brought about the lowest ebb in literature and learning known to history.

Out of pagan and immoral Rome, Christianity and asceticism grew and thrived, certain individuals became incensed with immorality and Worldliness that existed in Roman society. They would not worship the Roman gods attend the bath or visit the games. They thought that all sorts of physical activity were foolish pursuits in that they designed to improve the body. They preached that the body and mind were distinct and separate entities in man and one had no bearing on the other. The Christian imperial theodosius abolished the Olympic games A.D.394 as being pagan.

As Christianity spread monasteries were built where Christians could isolate themselves from the world and its evils. Later schools were attached to these monasteries but early Christianity would not allow physical education to become a part of the curriculum.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Plato is the earliest important educational thinker, and education is an essential element in 'The Republic' (his most important work on philosophy and political theory, written around 360 B.C.). In it, he advocates some rather extreme methods: removing children from their mothers' care and raising them as wards of the state, and differentiating children suitable to the various castes, the highest receiving the most education, so that they could act as guardians of the city and care for the less able. He believed that education should be holistic, including facts, skills, physical discipline, music, and art. Plato believed that talent and intelligence are not distributed genetically and thus can be found in children born to all classes, although his proposed system of selective public education for an educated minority of the population does not really follow a democratic model.

Aristotle considered human nature, habit, and reason to be equally important forces to be cultivated in education, the ultimate aim of which should be to produce good and virtuous citizens. He proposed that teachers lead their students systematically, and that repetition be used as a key tool to develop good habits, unlike Socrates' emphasis on questioning his listeners to bring out their own ideas. He emphasized the balancing of the theoretical and practical aspects of subjects taught, among which he explicitly mentions reading, writing, mathematics, music, physical education, literature, history, and a wide range of sciences, as well as play, which he also considered important.

Question:
Which of these methods is NOT advocated in 'The Republic'?

Option 1: Differentiating children based on castes

Solution : The correct option is (a) Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

The assertion that government policies play a crucial role in promoting human capital formation is true. Human capital formation refers to the process of acquiring and developing knowledge, skills, and capabilities in individuals. Government policies have a significant influence on the availability, accessibility, and quality of education and healthcare services, which are key components of human capital formation. Through various interventions and investments, governments can create an enabling environment that supports education and healthcare, leading to the development of human capital in a society.

The reason provided states that government interventions can improve access to education and healthcare services, which is a correct explanation of the assertion. Government policies can include measures such as funding for educational institutions, scholarships and grants, infrastructure development, curriculum development, healthcare subsidies, and public health initiatives. These interventions aim to reduce barriers to education and healthcare, improve their affordability and quality, and ensure equitable access for all individuals. By implementing such policies, governments can enhance human capital formation by providing individuals with the necessary resources and opportunities to acquire education and healthcare services.

Therefore, both the assertion that government policies play a crucial role in promoting human capital formation and the reason that government interventions can improve access to education and healthcare services are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
