Academics has always been an essential part of human development. It prepares us to survive in the outside world and establish an identity of our own. But, is an individual's development restricted to merely academics? In India, from an early age, we have been taught that education is limited to the boundaries of academics only; the idea of getting out into the field, for gaining practical experience, is always considered a hoax. This has hindered students development. But the truth is that education represents a considerably broader field than we know of it. Our teaching, from the basics, has been focused on getting good grades and job offers, rather than being creative and unique in the 21st century, the pure academic type of education is slowly paving way for a whole new type. The paradigm shift in the whole education systern is evident. People have now come to understand that education is a 360 degree activity field, for gaining practical experience, is always considered a hoax. This has hindered students development. But the truth is that education represents a considerably broader field than we know of it. Our teaching, from the basics, has been focused on getting good grades and job
offers, rather than being creative and unique. In the 21st century, the pure academic type of education is slowly paving way for a whole new type. The paradigm shift in the whole education
system is evident. People have now come to understand that education is a 360 degree activity that should focus on students' overall development, rather than restricting him/her to the classroom. Co-curricular activities that take place outside the classroom but reinforce or
supplement classroom curriculum, in some way, have become a point of focus today. These activities help in the growth of the child, in more than one way. Participating in such activities helps youngsters grow mentally, socially and individually. Intellectual development of a student
is developed in the classroom, but for aesthetic development such as team- building, character- building, and physical growth, students must step out into the outside world. For instance, if a student is a part of the school football team, hel she will learn team-work and coordination, in a
practical manner, which cannot be taught in the class.

Q.2 Read the following passage and make notes on the basis of your comprehension of the passage. Give a suitable title. 4 marks
Despite all the research every one of us catches a cold and most failure to control one of the commonest of all ailments sometimes seems ridiculous. Medical science regularly practices transplant surgery and has rid whole countries of such fatal diseases as Typhus and the Plague. But the problem of the common cold is unusually difficult and much has yet to be done to solve it. It is known that a cold is caused by one of a number of vira infections that affect the lining of the nose and other passages leading to the lungs but the confusing variety of viruses makes study and remedy very difficult. It was shown in 1960 that many typical colds in adults are caused by one or the other of a family of viruses known rhinoviruses, yet there still remain many colds for which no virus has as yet been isolated. There is also the difficulty that because they are so much smaller than the bacteria which cause many other infections, viruses cannot be seen with ordinary microscopes.
