Passage one
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
A quality education is the ultimate liberator. It can free people
from poverty,giving them
the power to greatly improve their lives and take a productive place in society. It can also free
communities and countries, allowing them to leap forward into periods of wealth and social unity
that
otherwise
would
not
be
possible.
For
this
reason,the
international
community
has
committed itself to getting all the world's children into primary school by 2015, a commitment
known as Education for All.
Can Education for All be achieved by 2015? The answer is definitely
鈥?/p>
yes
鈥?/p>
, although it is a
difficult task. If we now measure the goal in terms of children successfully completing a minimum
of
five
years
of
primary
school,
instead
of
just
enrolling
for
classes,
which
used
to
be
the
measuring stick for education, the challenge will become even more difficult. Only 32 countries
were formerly believed to be at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of enrollment
rates.
The
number
rises
to
88
if
completion
rates
are
used
as
the
standard.Still,
the
goal
is
achievable with the right policies and the right support from the international community. 59 of
the
88
countries
at
risk
can
reach
universal
primary
completion
by
2015
if
they
bring
the
efficiency
and
quality
of
their
education
systems
into
line
with
standards
observed
in
higher-performing
systems.They
also
need
significant
increasing
external(
澶栭儴鐨?/p>
)financing
and
technical support. The 29 countries lagging(
钀藉悗
) farthest behind will not reach the goal without
unprecedented(
绌哄墠鐨?/p>
)rates of progress. But this is attainable with creative solutions, including
the use of information technologies,flexible and targeted foreign aid, and fewer people living in
poverty.
A key lesson of experience about what makes development effective is that a country to
use aid well depends heavily on its policies,institutions and management.Where a country scores
well on these standards, foreign assistance can be highly effective.
