Read the following passage and answer the questions ( S1. Nos. 1 1 to 15 ) given below :
It is an old saying that knowledge is power. Education is an instrument which imparts
knowledge and, therefore, indirectly controls power. Therefore, even since the dawn
of civilisation persons in power have always tried to supervise or control education. It
has been the hand-maid of the ruling class. During the Christian Era the ecclesiastics
controlled the institution of education and diffused among the people the gospel of the
Bible and religious teachings. These gospels and teachings were no other than a
philosophy for the maintenance of the existing society. It caught the poor man to be
meek and to earn his bread with the sweat of his brow, while the priests and the
landlords lived in luxury, fought duels for the slightest offence. During the
Renaissance, education passed more from the clutches of the priests into the hands of
the princes. In other words, it became more secular. It was also due to the growth of
the nation state and powerful monarchs who united the country under their rule.
Thus, under the control of the monarch, education began to devise and preach the
infallibility of its master, the monarch or king. It also invented and supported fantastic
theories like the Divine Right Theory and that the king can do no wrong. With the
advent of the Industrial Revolution, education took a different turn and had to please
the new masters. It now no longer remained the privilege of the baron class but was
thrown open to the new rich merchant class of society. Yet educaion was still confined
to the few elite. The philosophy which was in vogue during this period was that of
'Laissez Faire' restricting the function of the state to the mere keeping of law and order
while, on the other hand, in practice the law of the jungle prevailed in the form of free
competition and the survival of the fittest.
