Children For Whom School Has No Point - Quiz

The Ss should be able to skim and scan the text and find out the correct answers.

Questions and Answers

1.

According to the text, there are thousands of children who ...
- A.
  
  Stay at home doing the housework.
- B.
  
  Live in stable families.
- C.
  
  Are not registered at any school.
Correct Answer
C. Are not registered at any school.

Explanation
The text states that there are thousands of children who are not registered at any school. This suggests that these children are not attending any educational institution and are therefore not receiving a formal education. The other options, staying at home doing housework and living in stable families, are not mentioned in the text and cannot be inferred as the correct answer.

Part of the problem is ...
- A.
  
  That people feel very emotional.
- B.
  
  That there are not enough police to pick up truants on the streets.
- C.
  
  That these children think education is a waste of time.
Correct Answer
B. That there are not enough police to pick up truants on the streets.

Explanation
The correct answer is that there are not enough police to pick up truants on the streets. This suggests that one of the reasons for the problem mentioned is the lack of police presence to address the issue of truancy. This implies that if there were more police available to handle truants, it could potentially help alleviate the problem. The emotional aspect and the perception of education as a waste of time are not mentioned as causes in this particular answer.

- A.
  
  They do not reach their objectives.
- B.
  
  They meet their targets.
- C.
  
  Children escape from school.
Correct Answer
A. They do not reach their objectives.

Explanation
If a school does not reach their objectives, the Ministry of Education will take away their grant. This implies that the grant is contingent on the school's ability to achieve their goals and meet their set targets. It does not mention anything about children escaping from school, so this cannot be a reason for the Ministry to withdraw the grant.

Correct Answer
A. Will give money to parents to send children to school.

Explanation
The correct answer is "will give money to parents to send children to school."

This initiative aims to encourage and enable parents to prioritize their children's education by removing financial barriers.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Children may find it difficult to believe that going to school will lead to job opportunities because they may not have the life experience or understanding of the job market. Additionally, they may not see the immediate benefits of education and may prioritize other activities or interests. However, it is true that education plays a crucial role in preparing individuals for future employment by providing them with knowledge, skills, and qualifications that are valued by employers.
