B. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.
Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate
children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modern countries it has , for some time, been fashionable to think that by
free education for all – whether rich or poor, clever or stupid – one can solve all the problems
of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is
not enough’ we find in a such countries a large number of people with university degree;
they refuse to do what they thing “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to
be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand
that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a
professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our
streets
and took the rubbish away from our house, we should get terrible diseases in your towns.
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we
must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to
our brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to
society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can
be considered valuable to society.
