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 :  Read the following text and answer the questions.

The world is becoming global rapidly. The national boundaries have become less significant with the interlinked effects of technology, information flows, and investment mobility. Human knowledge, particularly in the sphere of science and technology, is now growing at a pace that was indeed unthinkable even two decades ago.
The comparative advantage of a nation will be more and more influenced by its capacity to generate, absorb, adapt, and assimilate new technologies into the production process. If liberalization and globalization are not to create islands of prosperity surrounded by vast sea destitution, there has to be a firm commitment to human resource development and to the continuous upgrading of human skills and capabilities in the fast-changing world that we live in. The Indian policymakers are fully committed to building a society that is technologically sophisticated, economically progressive, and socially just, and humane.

The impact of globalization on education is now being felt in India. Indian entrepreneurs are also now investing in education. In the process of privatization of higher education in India, many good institutions have come up and have met the increasing demand for higher education mainly in the area of engineering, business administration, and medical education. But this process has also led to the mushroom growth of low-quality institutions without proper infrastructure, However, the expansion of higher education in India has resulted in increasing access to higher education even in rural areas of the country. In this process, Human Resource Development is taking place at a faster speed as compared to the earlier stage when the opportunities for higher education were limited. Globalization has promoted information technology in India. Indian students have excelled in the area of information technology over many other countries. Development taking place in the developed countries become available to Indian students, scholars, and practitioners through regular contacts and modern technology.
