CLAT 2013Directions (1-10): Read the given passage carefully and attempt the questions
that follow and shade the appropriate answer in the space provided for it on
the OMR answer sheet.
It is an old saying that knowledge is power. Education is an instrument which
imparts knowledge and, therefore, indirectly controls power. Therefore, ever since
the dawn of our civilization, persons in power have always tried to supervise or
control education. It has been handmaid of the ruling class. During the Christian
era, the ecclesiastics controlled the institution of education and diffused among the
people the gospel of the Bible and religious teachings. These gospels and teachings
were no other than a philosophy for the maintenance of the existing society. It
taught the poor man to be meek and to earn his bread with the sweat of his brow,
while the priests and the landlords lived in luxury and fought duels for the slightest
offence. During the Renaissance, education passed more from the clutches of the
priest into the hands of the prince. In other words, it became more secular. Under
the control of the monarch, education began to devise and preach the infallibility of
its masters, the monarch or king. It also invented and supported fantastic theories
like "The Divine Right Theory" and that the king can do no wrong, etc. With the
advent of the industrial revolution, education took a different turn and had to please
the new masters. It now no longer remained the privilege of the baron class, but was
thrown open to the new rich merchant class of the society. The philosophy which
was in vogue during this period was that of "Laissez Voire" restricting the function
of the State to a mere keeping of laws and order while on the other hand, in practice
the law of the jungle prevailed in the form of free competition and the survival of
the fittest.
