Question 6

Democratic societies from the earliest times have expected their governments to protect the weak against the strong. No era of good feeling can justify discharging the police force or giving up the idea of public control over concentrated private wealth. On the other hand, it is obvious that a spirit of self-denial and moderation on the part of those who hold economic power will greatly soften the demand for absolute equality. The extent to which the Government must interfere with business, therefore, is not exactly measured by the extent to which economic power is concentrated into a few hands. The required degree of government interference depends mainly on whether economic powers are oppressively used, and on the necessity of keeping economic factors in a tolerable state of balance.But with all these threats to liberty, the powers of government are unavoidably increased. The growth of government is a necessary result of the growth of technology and of the problems that go with the use of machines and science. Since the Government in our nation must take on more powers to meet its problems, there is no way to preserve freedom except by making democracy more powerful.The advent of science and technology has increased the

Question 13

Educational planning should aim at meeting the educational needs of the entire population of all age groups. While the traditional structure of education as a three layer hierarchy from the primary stage to the university represents the core, we should not overlook the periphery which is equally important. Educational planning, in their words, should take care of the needs of everyone.Our structures of education have been built up on the assumption that there is a terminal point to education. This basic defect has become all the more harmful today. A viable education system of the future should consist of modules with different kinds of functions serving a diversity of constituents. And performance, not the period of study, should be the basis for credentials.In view of the fact that the significance of a commitment of lifelong learning and lifetime education is being discussed only in recent years even in educationally advanced countries, the possibility of the idea becoming an integral part of educational thinking seems to be a far cry. A good beginning can be made by developing Open University programs for older learners of different categories and introducing extension services in the conventional colleges and schools. Also these institutions should learn to cooperate with numerous community organizations such as libraries, museums, municipal recreational programs, health services etc. With these factors and strategies, it is possible to transform the educational system into one which is not just limited to academic learning. Rather, a more vast and beneficial system can be established that would bring great value to the nation as a whole. What is the main thrust of the passage?
