Question : Which of these statements is true? 1:In India, a large portion of total education spending goes toward elementary education. 2: Young people with higher education have the greatest unemployment rates.
Option 1: Only A
Option 2: Only B
Option 3: Both of the above
Option 4: None of the above
Correct Answer: Both of the above
Solution : Higher education accounts for the least amount of the total budget and elementary education for the most. The government places more focus on elementary education because it is the foundational or first level of schooling. The fact that educated people have higher unemployment rates is partly due to their unwillingness to work in low-wage informal jobs, but also because there aren't enough paying conventional positions available for them. Hence option c is the correct answer.
