Read the passage provided below and answer the questions that follow:

The Teacher Shobha Vajpayee divides her class into groups of five or six children,

and soon everyone is engrossed in measuring the length and breath of the classroom

to draw a map to scale. She took a moment to share with me her reflections on the

episode that had just taken place, and she was quick to acknowledge, “Had it not been

for the training I have received, I would certainly have interrupted the girl. The

training has helped me learn to respect what the children are saying and be receptive

to the why of it.” Shobha was referring to the trainings organised by the NGO as a

part of their Social Science Teaching Programme (SSTP). This is an educational

innovation that is being tried out in eight schools of Madhya Pradesh. She felt that

this exposure had greatly influenced her teaching not just in social science but in other

subjects too. “It has changed my entire way of looking at things she exclaimed,

saying that now she is able to look beyond rote learning and exams and understand

that in every subject there is a scope to discuss the social and attempt the practical.”
