Below mentioned question consists of a statement followed by two arguments I and II.
Statement: Should 'education' be brought under the control of the Central Government like defence?
Argument:
I: No. Education is a state subject and it should remain with state.
II: Yes. This is the only way to establish uniformity in a growth of education across the states.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct option is A
If only argument I is strong
Clearly, the benefits of education can reach out better to the masses if looked after by governing bodies at the state level, rather than if looked after by a single body at the center.
Besides, Uniformity in education can be achieved by constant monitoring, and prescribing a common curriculum and assessment policy.
So, only argument I holds strong, while II does not.
