   • (d) Read the following Passage and Answer the given below :— The present human resource minister is concerned with the high rate of ‘dropouts’ in schools. The heart of the matter has, unfortunately, not been addressed to by the various commissions that have dealt with the subject. As an educationist for more than 40 years, I’ve closely watched the state of education at all levels-be it the primary, the secondary or the university level What struck me as an reality during the last 20 years is that in a large number of schools, established in unapproachable villages and tracts, the teachers are commuters, many of whom have to travel up to 200 kms. to reach their school. Given the available means of transport, the inclemencies of weather, and the deplorable condition of the roads, one can very well imagine how impossible it is for the teacher to reach his school. Moreover, 80 per cent of the primary schools in India are single teacher schools Therefore, in reality the teacher does not ‘drop in’ for more than two or three days ina month. His salary is ensured as he has a good ‘understanding’ with the Sarpanch of the village and Block Development Officer of that area. If we can ensure that teachers ‘drop in’ when they are expected to, the ‘dropout’ rate will be reduced considreably
