Part One: Reading (1 points)
A/ Comprehension (07 points)
Read the text carefully then do the following activities:
The field of education has always acted as an essential factor in the cultural and
economic development of nations. It serves as the frame which provides the necessary
training for the future learned classes who will run the general affairs of countries.
However, the chance they have to carry out their mission successfully depends on the type
of teaching they have received and the pedagogical environment where they have acquired
their skills.
The contribution of the educational system to the progress of communities cannot be
fulfilled if some vital elements are not supplied. The constitution of buildings where the
learning takes place is not the only condition required in this branch. The main thing that
sustains schools and their work is the support and consideration they receive from society.
Schools can be efficient institutions ready to act as the backbone of the society if they
receive enough recognition and trust from everybody.
Moreover, schools are bound to fail in their noble task if they do not benefit from the
material facilities they need to ensure success to their complex business. The important
means that should be put at their disposal will not be effective unless the educational
organisation gets supervised not only by competent teachers but also by devoted staff.
Besides, it is vital to update the methods of teaching and introduce in the syllabi the latest
information covering every subject matter. Above all, clever learners should be integrated
into the professional world when they become adults; otherwise, their enthusiasm for
studies declines and nothing justifies their sacrifices. (Adapted from Internet)
