Impact of Liberalisation on Education

The passage discusses the impact of economic liberalization policies in India on the education system over the last three decades. It notes that when liberalization began in the mid-1980s and early 1990s, little attention was paid to how it would affect education. The World Bank offered a "safety net" for primary education through programs like DPEP and SSA to cushion the impact on children's education. However, higher education received no such safety net and was expected to generate its own resources. Over time, both public funding cuts and an emphasis on market responsiveness have undermined the established system of higher education across India.

Instruction: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.

The other day, a student asked me what exactly the word  ‘liberal’ mean. She wanted to know whether
‘liberalisation’ promotes ‘liberal’ values. She had noticed that institutions of higher education, which are
supposed to promote liberal values, were finding it difficult to resist ideological and commercial
pressures triggered by the process of economic liberalisation. So, was economic liberalism different from
political liberalism? And what do people mean when they refer to neo-liberal policies? The questions she
was asking could hardly be addressed without invoking the political economy that has emerged over the
last three decades.

When liberalisation of the economy started to receive common consent in the mid-1980s, few people
thought of examining what it would mean for education. Then, in 1991 came the dramatic announcement
of a new economic policy, accompanied by a package of steps to be taken for ‘structural adjustment’ of the
Indian economy. The purpose of ‘adjustment’ was to facilitate India’s integration into the global economy.
Even then, education didn’t receive specific attention. Some critics of the new economic policy expressed
anxiety about the consequences of state withdrawal from its prime role and responsibility in sectors like
education and health. The national policy on education drafted in 1986 had mostly adhered to the
established state-centric view. A major review in the early 1990s vaguely resonated the new discourse of
liberalisation, but offered little evidence of change in the basic perspective. The Programme of Action,
announced in 1992, stopped short of admitting that the state’s role in education was about to change.
Nobody could imagine at that point that over the following decades, the state’s role in education would
change so much that the Constitution would begin to sound like rhetoric.

In order to examine what happened, we must make a distinction between school and higher education.
When Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao spoke about liberalisation as the central theme of the new
economic policy, he also referred to the ‘structural adjustment programme’. Under this programme, the
World Bank offered a ‘safety net’ for primary education. It meant additional resources and policy guidance
to enable the system to expand its capacity for enrolling children. The District Primary Education
Programme (DPEP), which later mutated into Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), symbolised the ‘safety net’
approach. It was designed to cushion the harsh effects that ‘structural adjustment’ under liberalisation
was expected to cause in welfare sectors like children’s education and health. The DPEP and SSA
efficiently served this role, creating an ethos in which children’s education seemed to have become a
major priority of the state. The success of these programmes emboldened the government to push the
Right to Education (RTE) law through Parliament. Governments of many States registered their anxiety
over their capacity to fund the implementation of RTE after the Central assistance provided under SSA
runs dry.

In higher education, the new economic policy designed on the principles of liberalisation offered no safety
net. From the beginning, the assumption was that higher education ought to generate its own resources.
An accompanying idea was that higher education should respond to market demands in terms of
knowledge and skills. Over the last three decades, these two guiding ideas have dented the established
system of higher education in all parts of the country. Both Central and State universities have been
starved of financial resources. Cutting down on permanent staff, both teaching and non-teaching, has
emerged as the best strategy to cope with financial crunch. A complex set of outcomes, specific to different

nature, have provided a means of income. In others, such courses have been resisted by teacher unions.

1980s, few people thought of examining what it would mean for education. Then, in 1991 came the
dramatic announcement of a new economic policy, accompanied by a package of steps to be taken for
‘structural adjustment’ of the Indian economy. The purpose of ‘adjustment’ was to facilitate India’s
integration into the global economy. Even then, education didn’t receive specific attention. Some critics of
the new economic policy expressed anxiety about the consequences of state withdrawal from its prime role
and responsibility in sectors like education and health. The national policy on education drafted in 1986
had mostly adhered to the established state-centric view. A major review in the early 1990s vaguely
resonated the new discourse of liberalisation, but offered little evidence of change in the basic perspective.
The Programme of Action, announced in 1992, stopped short of admitting that the state’s role in
education was about to change. Nobody could imagine at that point that over the following decades, the
state’s role in education would change so much that the Constitution would begin to sound like rhetoric.
In order to examine what happened, we must make a distinction between school and higher education.
When Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao spoke about liberalisation as the central theme of the new
economic policy, he also referred to the ‘structural adjustment programme’. Under this programme, the
World Bank offered a ‘safety net’ for primary education. It meant additional resources and policy guidance
to enable the system to expand its capacity for enrolling children. The District Primary Education
Programme (DPEP), which later mutated into Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), symbolised the ‘safety net’
approach. It was designed to cushion the harsh effects that ‘structural adjustment’ under liberalisation
was expected to cause in welfare sectors like children’s education and health. The DPEP and SSA
efficiently served this role, creating an ethos in which children’s education seemed to have become a
major priority of the state. The success of these programmes emboldened the government to push the
Right to Education (RTE) law through Parliament. Governments of many States registered their anxiety
over their capacity to fund the implementation of RTE after the Central assistance provided under SSA
runs dry. In higher education, the new economic policy designed on the principles of liberalisation offered
no safety net. From the beginning, the assumption was that higher education ought to generate its own
resources. An accompanying idea was that higher education should respond to market demands in terms
of knowledge and skills. Over the last three decades, these two guiding ideas have dented the established
system of higher education in all parts of the country. Both Central and State universities have been
starved of financial resources. Cutting down on permanent staff, both teaching and non-teaching, has
emerged as the best strategy to cope with financial crunch. A complex set of outcomes, specific to different
universities, makes any general analysis difficult. In some, self-financed courses, mostly vocational in
nature, have provided a means of income. In others, such courses have been resisted by teacher unions.
However, these unions have gradually lost their power and say because they are broken from within.

Q.1) Explanation:

Quantity I:

Let F and G be the centers and r be the radius of the semicircles ABC and CDE respectively.

https://courses.edutap.co.in/admin/products/all-questions/178220 85/130
2/22/2021 Mock Test 2-complete-test

∵ F and G are the centers of the semicircles ABC and CDE and B and D are the midpoints of the arc ABC and
CDE respectively,
∴ ∠BFC = ∠DGC = 90°

∴ FB = FC = GC = GD = r = = 10 cm

And, ∆BFC and ∆DGC are right angled isosceles triangles.

Area of shaded region

= 2 × (25π – 50)
= 50 × (π – 2)

≈ 57.08 cm2
Quantity II > Quantity I

Q.2) Explanation:

Quantity I:
Time taken by the trains to meet for the irst time

= 2 hours
Distance between point R and Q

= Distance travelled by train B in 2 hours


= 100 × 2

= 200 km
Quantity II:

Time taken by the train B to travel from Q to P and then return to Q = = 7.2 hours

Train A took the same time as train B in traveling from P to Q and then Q to S.
∴ Distance between P and Q + Distance between Q and S = Distance travelled by train A in 7.2 hours

⟹ 360 + Distance between Q and S = 80 × 7.2 = 576

https://courses.edutap.co.in/admin/products/all-questions/178220 86/130
2/22/2021 Mock Test 2-complete-test

⟹ Distance between Q and S = 576 – 360 = 216 km


Quantity II > Quantity I

Q.3) Explanation:

Let time taken to complete the work by a man and a woman are ‘M’ and ‘W’ days respectively.

A→

B→

C→

Ratio of ef iciencies is required to answer the question which can be obtained from either C alone or A and B
together.
Hence, the question can be answered by using either C alone or A and B together.

Q.4) Explanation:

Length of train B is 20% less than that of train A.


A → Train A crosses another train B moving in same direction in 72 sec.

∴ Time taken = 72 sec


B → Speed of train A is 25km/h more than that of train B.
∴ Speed of train A – Speed of train B = 25km/h.

C → Length of train B is 20% less than that of train A.


∴ Let the lengths of trains A and B be 5x and 4x meters respectively.

From all the three statements,


Since the trains are moving in the same directions,
∴ Relative speed = Speed of train A – Speed of train B = 25km/h

Sum of lengths of trains = 5x + 4x = 9x

2/22/2021 Mock Test 2-complete-test

Hence, the question can be answered by using all the three statements together.

Q.5) Explanation:

A → Cone has same base as that of the cylinder (same radius) and height 30 cm.

Volume of cone = Volume of cylinder

⟹ × π × (rcone)2 × hcone = π × (rcylinder)2 × hcylinder

⟹ × hcone = hcylinder (∵ rcone = rcylinder)

⟹ hcylinder = 10 cm

B → Circumference of base of the cylinder = 132 cm


⟹ 2 × π × rcylinder = 132 cm
⟹ rcylinder = 21 cm

C → Volume of cylinder = 13860 cm3


⟹π × (rcylinder)2 × hcylinder = 13860 cm3

Radius and height of the cylinder can be obtained from any two statements.
Hence, the question can be answered by using any two of the three statements together.

Q.46) Explanation:

To defend itself against a charge of discrimination the company will have to show its selections were made on the basis of merit
not sex. The best way to do that is to show that none of the women who were rejected had better quali ications than the men
who were appointed. Only option (e) implies that and hence is the correct answer.

Q.47) Explanation:

This argument is based on the assumption that if the appliances become more ef icient, then more homes would not be tempted
to increase their utility/consumption in the household.

Q.48) Explanation:

A study estimated that close to 22 percent of children enrolled in the class one records were below 6 years of age and still to
start going to school.

Q.49) Explanation:

All that the speaker implies is that Kapil is ef icient because he has twelve years of practice, and so option (a) is correct. (b) is
eliminated because the word ‘identical’ is not mentioned in the paragraph. (c) is eliminated because we are talking about typing
not the whole ‘job pro ile’. (d) is eliminated as nothing is mentioned about Kapil’s speed and accuracy and we cannot assume
ef iciency as speed and accuracy. Similarly (e) cannot be the answer as nothing is implied about itting into the of ice.
