Courses of Action – Village school dropouts to work on farms Statement: Many village students are dropping out because parents want them to help on farms. Decide which action(s) logically follow.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: All follow

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:Child labour pressures and poverty push dropouts. A balanced policy response includes awareness, incentives, and legal compulsion up to a basic age to keep children in school.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Problem: Parents pull children from school for farm work.
  • Actions: I) awareness for parents about education’s value; II) incentives to farmers whose children stay in school; III) compulsory education up to 14 with a ban on child employment.

Concept / Approach:Combine soft (awareness), economic (incentives), and regulatory (compulsory schooling) instruments. Each addresses a different barrier and together form a comprehensive response.

Step-by-Step Solution:

I (awareness): Corrects information and aspiration gaps; follows.II (incentives): Offsets opportunity cost of schooling for poor families; follows.III (compulsory schooling & employment ban): Provides legal backing and enforcement; follows.

Verification / Alternative check:

Global practice blends conditional cash transfers, midday meals, enforcement against child labour, and community mobilisation—consistent with I, II, III.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Any subset omits an important lever (mindset, money, or mandate) necessary for durable impact.

Common Pitfalls:

Believing awareness alone fixes structural poverty; ignoring that enforcement without support can backfire.
