32. The academic school year generally is begun at the beginning of September. A B C DVI. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 36 Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educatechildren 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 freeeducation for all – whether rich or poor, clever or stupid – one can solve all the problems ofsociety and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is notenough, we find in such countries a large number of people with university degree; theyrefuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirtyand shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that thework of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; wecan live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets andtook 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 beeducated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to our brains andability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that isvery bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be consideredvaluable to society.
