        1)            The present education policy admits some of the  mistakes 
                      of  the  past  and tries to  remedy  the  situation  for 
                      future.
        
        2)            There is a lot of wastage in education.  This should  be

        1)            Some of the basic issues to be examined are equality  of 
                      education opportunities, instilling of sense of  values, 
                      necessiry of changes in syllabus and evaluation  system, 
                      and management of education.
        
        2)            Funds  are  being misused in  literacy  campaign,  adult  
                      literacy programme etc.
        
        3)            Voluntary   agencies  for  education  have  lost   their 
                      relevance.
        
        4)            Village level primary schools have become useless.

        1)            There  is a burning need for reforming education  system

        1)            The  present  education  policy did  not  recognise  the 
                      welfare State's responsibility to, provide education for 
                      all up to the elementary stage.
        
        2)            The  present policy encouraged the  elitist  educational 
                      institutions  like  autonomous  colleges  and   Navodaya 
                      Vidyalayas.

        1)            The  problem  is  more  with  implementation  than  with                 
                      policy.
        
        2)            The reason for failure is that we do not have  committed  
                      workers.
        
        3)            Present  system  of education does not  inculcate  human 
                      values in children.
        
        4)            The  views of Mahatama Gandhi about education are  quite 
                      relevant in the modern technological age.
