Read the passage and answer the following questions:
The goal of our present system of primary and secondary schooling is to prepare students for the examination system, which will take them to the best technical institutions in the country. While the teaching of science and mathematics has been upgraded over the years and teaching of the humanities and social sciences continue to be straight-jacketed in grotesque ways. Those areas of the Indian reality that ought to form the proper subject like caste, poverty and environmental degradation, if we are to create a responsible and aware body of citizens, form no part of the syllabus. The capacity to think inadequately and critically about problems that plague modern Indian society, which really ought to be a prominent part of the humanities curriculum, is perceived to be intractable from the point of view of an examiner. Least the evaluation becomes subjective, every effort is made to reduce both history and economics to services of facts, a one-to-one correlation between facts to ensure a proper system of grading.
