Statement — An expert group on technical education stresses that computer education should begin from primary school and be implemented in urban and rural schools simultaneously.\n\nCourses of Action —\nI. The Government should issue instructions to all schools to implement computer education.\nII. At least one teacher in each school should be trained in computer operations to teach children.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: if both I and II follows

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The statement prescribes early computer education and simultaneous implementation across geographies. Valid courses of action must address both policy adoption and delivery capacity.



Given Data / Assumptions:


  • Goal: universal early computer education.
  • Equity: urban and rural roll-out together.
  • COA I: formal directive to all schools (ensures adoption, standards, timeline).
  • COA II: teacher training (ensures classroom delivery capability).


Concept / Approach:
Policy without capacity fails; capacity without mandate scales poorly. Therefore, I (top-down implementation signal) and II (human resource capability) are complementary and jointly necessary to achieve the stated objective.



Step-by-Step Solution:


1) Convert recommendation to mandate (I) to ensure system-wide rollout and budgeting.2) Prepare trainers (II) to convert infrastructure into learning outcomes.3) Conclude both follow together.


Verification / Alternative check:
Either action alone is insufficient: I without II yields token compliance; II without I yields islands of excellence. Hence both are required.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:


Only I or only II/Either: incomplete; neither alone achieves the simultaneous, universal aim.Neither: contradicts the feasibility of the recommendation.


Common Pitfalls:
Ignoring training lead times and rural infrastructure; both must be planned in tandem.



Final Answer:
Both I and II follow.
