Question 1
1.1) Discuss 5 challenges that Tommy encountered in accessing
quality education that prevent him from achieving his potential.
Provide specific reasons mentioned in the passage to support your
answer.
1.Irregular School Attendance: Tommy takes turns remaining at home to
take care of their sick grandfather, as do the other older children in his
household. Due to his erratic attendance, he struggles to stay up with his
peers and has learning gaps.
2. Late Arrival at School: Tommy frequently arrives late to school because he
must retrieve water every morning from a river that is one kilometer away.
His tardiness throws off his study schedule and makes him miss out on
crucial teaching points.
3. Hunger and Malnutrition: Tommy experiences frequent hunger because no
one in his household has a job. His energy and focus are affected by hunger,
which makes it challenging for him to concentrate in class and learn the
material.
4.Tommy has four vision problems. No one is aware of his problems because
he has never had his eyes examined and is partially sighted. This issue is
made worse by students who sit in the back of the room to avoid the
teacher's attention. They prevent themselves from seeing the board properly
and lose out on important visual information that is presented throughout
class.
5.Tommy's family condition and eyesight difficulties are not known to the
teacher. This indicates a lack of understanding and support from the teacher.
She yells at him for his poor performance, tardiness, and failure to complete
his schoolwork. Tommy becomes anxious as a result of this unfavorable
reinforcement, which impedes his ability to learn and boosts his confidence.
1.2 Explain the impact of Tommy's family situation on his academic
performance. How does his responsibility for household tasks and
caring for his grandfather affect his ability to focus on schoolwork?
