Read the passage given below and answer the questions that followed based on your understanding of the passage (Q. Nos. 47 – 50) :
A life long learning paradigm values all kinds of learning – formal, non-formal and informal recognition and validation of non-formal and informal learning form a corner stone in the lifelong strategy. The learning outcomes should be recognized and valued, regardless of where and how they are achieved. Such recognition of non-formal and informal learning enables learners to identify their starting point, gain entry to a programme of learning at a
particular level, achieve credits towards a qualification and/or achieve a full qualification based on competences. It serves to motivate reluctant participants, add value to prior learning and save time and money by reducing or eliminating the need to relearn what has already been learned. Similarly, it enables society to benefit from skills acquired at no public cost.

(A) Learning is incidental
(B) Learning takes place anywhere
(C) Prior learning has no validity
(D) Validation of informal learning is not a problem
48. The paragraph is advocating for acceptance of
(A) Formal learning
(B) Structured learning
(C) Life long learning
(D) Incongruent learning
49. Recognition of prior learning can help learners to
(A) Obtain certificates
(B) Further their education
(C) Both (A) and (B) are correct
(D) (A) is correct and (B) is incorrect
50. The statement ‘entry to a programme of learning at a particular level’ means
(A) A neoliterate can enter to a class or level of education according to his competencies and prior recognition.
(B) A literate can move literally to a choice based programme of learning at a particular level.
(C) Both (A) and (B) are incorrect.
