Statement — The world conference on “Education for All” took place recently in London. Attending members endorsed a framework of action to meet the basic learning needs of all children.\nCourses of Action:\nI. India should suitably implement the action points of this conference.\nII. India should immediately organize a similar conference.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: Only I follows

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The conference produced an endorsed framework to meet children’s basic learning needs. The appropriate response for a participating/concerned country is to adopt and adapt the agreed actions rather than host another event merely to replicate deliberations.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • A global framework has been endorsed.
  • I: Implement the action points suitably within India’s context.
  • II: Immediately organize a similar conference in India.


Concept / Approach:
Policy follow-through entails domestic planning, budgeting, timelines, and monitoring using the shared framework. Holding another conference is not inherently harmful, but it is not necessary or urgent to advance implementation.


Step-by-Step Solution:
I follows: Translate framework into national programs (curriculum, teacher training, infrastructure, inclusion), aligning with local needs and constraints.II does not follow: Energy and resources should prioritize implementation rather than event repetition; workshops may be useful later, but they are not a direct immediate course of action.


Verification / Alternative check:
International frameworks typically move forward through country-level action plans, not by hosting duplicative conferences.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Only II / Both / Neither / Either: all fail to recognize that implementation, not re-convening, is the action implied by the statement.


Common Pitfalls:
Confusing visibility (hosting events) with impact (executing programs).


Final Answer:
Only I follows.
