Higher education - central idea
Question
Which one of the following statements best reflects the central idea conveyed by the passage?
Options
India does not have enough resources for promoting quality education in its universities.
The institutions of higher learning in the country should not be under the control of the Government.
Classroom approach to higher education should be done away with.
Classroom needs to be reimagined and teaching needs to be re-invented.
Explanation
The passage contrasts the traditional Indian focus on "teaching and learning for the examination" with the modern necessity for "critical and independent thinking" and "learning through doing." The concluding sentence forcefully states, "Teaching has to be re-invented." The core argument is not about funding, government control, or abolishing classrooms, but about radically transforming the pedagogical approach. Option (d) directly captures this call for reimagining educational spaces and methodologies.
Answer: (d).
