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. Courses of Action — I. The Government should issue instructions to all schools to implement computer education. II. 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.
