8 0453/02/O/N/04 (b) Study Fig. 6 which describes three education projects. Three education projects in developing countries Distance learning Adults who have left school without qualifications can study to gain school certificate and university entrance. Students pay fees and buy the course materials. They send their work by post to tutors who mark and return it. At the end of the course they sit examinations. Television lessons School pupils follow lessons which are broadcast by the Ministry of Education on the national television network. Science, maths and language lessons are particularly important and more school students are able to follow these subjects to gain their school certificate. National Apprenticeship Courses These are run as evening classes and students study practical subjects. Particularly important are courses for the building and engineering industries. The students are paid to work in the day alongside skilled workers who help with their training. After three years the students’ practical work is examined and if it is judged of good standard they gain a nationally accepted qualification. Fig. 6 (i) Suggest two reasons why many adults have no qualifications. [2] (ii) Explain why “distance learning” is a particularly useful way of gaining qualifications in developing countries. [2] (iii) Suggest two reasons why television lessons enable many more school students to gain their school certificate than if they only had classroom lessons. [2] (iv) Give two reasons why television lessons have disadvantages in some countries. [2] (v) Suggest one practical subject which would be suited to a national apprenticeship course. [1] (vi) Give three advantages of national apprenticeship courses. [3] © UCLES 2004
