Statement: A large number of vernacular-medium students have not passed the Xth standard final examination.\nCourses of Action:\nI. The Government should immediately review the situation and initiate measures to improve outcomes.\nII. Issue notices to all teachers of these schools to improve student performance.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: Only I follows.

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Poor outcomes concentrated in a segment suggest systemic issues (curricular alignment, teacher support, resources). A thoughtful review and targeted interventions are appropriate.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Failure disproportionately affects vernacular-medium schools.
  • Root causes may include materials, training, assessment mismatch, or socio-economic factors.
  • “Notices to all teachers” risks blame without diagnosis.


Concept / Approach:
I enables data-driven remediation (bridge courses, teacher training, revised materials, language support). II is blanket admonition lacking specificity and may demotivate staff.


Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Diagnostic testing to map learning gaps.2) Provide targeted academic support and teacher development.3) Monitor with formative assessments; adjust curricula accordingly.


Verification / Alternative check:
Targeted support correlates with improved pass rates more than punitive notices.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
II is non-specific and punitive; effectiveness is doubtful.


Common Pitfalls:
One-off workshops without mentoring; ignoring language-transition issues.


Final Answer:
Only I follows.
