-
BIf only II follows
-
CIf neither I nor II follows
-
DIf both I and II follow
-
EEither I or II follows
Answer
Correct Answer: If only I follows
Explanation
Introduction / Context:The statement notes a global framework already endorsed for universal learning needs. The logical response for a member country is implementation, not necessarily hosting another conference immediately.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Outcome: Framework of action already exists.
- Objective: Translate commitments into national programs.
- Constraints: Budget, capacity, timelines, monitoring.
Concept / Approach:Implement first, deliberate later. Policy logic prioritizes executing known actions before convening another forum without new purpose.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) I: Align curricula, access, equity programs, teacher training, and assessment with the framework—directly relevant.2) II: Organizing a similar conference adds little immediate value unless there is a unique agenda; not logically necessary.3) Thus, only I follows.Verification / Alternative check:Effective education reforms emphasize implementation roadmaps and monitoring over duplicative conferences.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
• II / Both / Either: Hosting is optional, not a logical necessity.• Neither: Ignores clear implementation opportunity.Common Pitfalls:Preferring deliberation over execution when guidance is already available.
Final Answer:If only I follows.
