Direction : (Q. No. 46 to 50) :
Comparative education is a fully established academic field of study that examines education in one country (or group of countries) by using data and insights drawn from the practices and situation in another country, or countries. Programmes and courses in comparative education are offered in many universities throughout the world, and relevant studies are regularly published in scholarly journals. The field of comparative education is supported by many projects associated with UNESCO and the national education ministries of various
nations.
Comparative education has four purposes :
1. To describe educational systems, processes or outcomes.
2. To assist in the development of educational institutions and practices.
3. To highlight the relationship between education and society.
4. To establish generalized statements about education that are valid in more than one country.
Many important educational questions can best be examined from an international and comparative perspective. For example, in the United States there is no nationwide certificate of completion of secondary education. This raises the question of what the advantages and disadvantages are of leaving such certification to each of the 50 states. Comparative education draws on the experience of countries such as Japan and France to show how a centralized system works, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of centralised certification.
46. Comparative education is a study based on
(1) evaluation of one system in one country with the same system in another country.
(2) description of many systems in the same country.
(3) the economics of fashion industry in two countries.
(4) the dietary preferences in one country.
47. Projects in comparative education are financed by
(1) only by business corporations in various nations.
(2) only UNESCO
(3) only education ministries of various nations.
