Part 2: Read lhe following passage and complete the sfafements that follow by circling A, B, C, or D to indicate your answer which you think fifs besf There is a problemthat will touch us ali - men, wornenand children- in the not too distant future,a problemthat resolves itselfintoa question: Wl'ratis education for?-At the momentmost of us can answerthat fairfypractically and withouttoo muchsoul-searching. On the fowestlevel, educationis for enablingus to cope in an adultworldwhere moneymust be added up, tax forms filled in, numberslooked up in telephone directories, maps read,curtainsmeasured-and street signs understood. On the next levefit is for gettingsomeiinO of lob that will pay a livingwage, But we are alreadypeeringinto a futureso drfferent from anythingwe would now recogniseas familiarthat the last of thesetwo educational aims may becomeas obsoleteas a dodo. Basic skills (reading,writingand arithmetic) wilf continueto be necpssarybut these, after all, can be taughtto childrenin from one to two yearsduringtheirchildhood. But education with a view to workingior a living,at leastin the senseof earning daifybread,may welt be on its way out right now for the majontyof us. Then the question"'what is educatio n foe' becomes much rnore complex, because whatthe futureproclaims is: an education is an education. In other words, our grandchildren may well spendtheir liveslearning as, today,we spend our fives working. This does not simply involve a straightforward substitution of activity but a

We willlearn for learning's sakealone: a rose is a rosebecause it is andnotwhatwe cangetoutof it. Norneedanycynic doubt thatwe shall notwishto workwithout therebeinganyobvious end in view.Already, adutteducation classes - one friendof mineteaching are overcrowded French literature saysshe couldhavehad 10 pupils forevery oneshehas. Nevertheless, we stilllivein a verycompetitive society andmostof us willneedto reshuffle the furniture of our mindsin orderto gearour children towards a futurein whichouterrewards - become keeping up withthe Joneses lessrelevant thaninnerandmoreindividual The spurs. existence of competition hasatways meant doing thingsbecause theywin us someessentially unconnected advantage but the aim of the futuremustbe to integrate the doingwith its own reward, likevirtue Oddlyenough it is in America, thatcitadel of competitiveness, thatthefirstexpenments in t1s change of mindaretakingplace. In thatNewWorld, thereare already organizations set up to examineways in which competitiveness can be replacedby other innlrdirected forms of rewards andpleasures. Takeoneinteresting example in a foundation wfrose aimis to transfonn competitiveness soon.A tug-of-war, as we all know,consists of one teampitting its stren$h against another team.
