TRUSTED workings, explanations, and solutions.
Question 1 Read scenario A and answer the questions that follow:
Scenario A.
Tommy is 10 years old. He attends a school 8 km from home. He lives in a
two-room house that he shares with his mother, his 85-year-old sick
grandfather and eight other children. His mother is blind and cannot find a job.
Because no one in the house earns an income Tommy is often hungry. He and
the other older children in the household take turns to stay home from school
and care for the grandfather. His schoolwork suffers because he is not able to
attend school every day. He must also fetch water from a river that is 1km
from home every morning before school and is often late for school. When he
is at school, he often finds it difficult to concentrate because he is usually
hungry and he worries about his grandfather a lot. He is also sad because his
father left home to look for work and never returned. When he gets home after
a long day at school, he works in the neighbours’ garden and then sells the
vegetables to earn some money to buy food for the family. The teacher does
not know why Tommy comes to school late and why he is absent so often.
She shouts at him for not doing his homework and for his poor performance at
school. Tommy gets nervous when the teacher shouts at him, so he sits at the
back of the class so that she won’t notice him. But Tommy is partially sighted
and can’t see the board from the back of the class. No one knows about
Tommy’s eyesight as his eyes have never been tested. His academic
performance gets worse and worse.
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. [4x5=20]
