Statement — The 1990 World Conference on “Education for All” endorsed a framework of action to meet basic learning needs of all children. Courses of Action — I. India should suitably implement the action points of this conference. II. India should immediately organize this type of conference.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: if only I follows

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:The statement cites a global framework already agreed upon. The logical next step is domestication and implementation, not re-hosting the event.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Outcome: a framework of action exists.
  • COA I: implement relevant action points nationally.
  • COA II: immediately organize a similar conference in India.

Concept / Approach:COA I is the obvious follow-through—curricular reforms, access/retention, teacher development, measurement, and inclusion. COA II adds little; convening another conference does not substitute for implementation and is not implied by the statement.

Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Translate framework → national plan and execution (I).2) Reject II as redundant at this stage.

Verification / Alternative check:Implementation can proceed using existing documents and bilateral cooperation; no new conference is necessary to begin.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Only II/Either/Both: confuses deliberation with action.Neither: ignores a clear, actionable path (I).

Common Pitfalls:Overvaluing meetings relative to execution.

Final Answer:Only I follows.
