Question 1 Read scenario A and answer the questions that follow: INC3701/103/2024 7
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.
Challenges Tommy Faces in Accessing Quality Education
Tommy's ability to access quality education and achieve his potential is severely hindered by
multiple challenges, as detailed in Scenario A. Below are five key challenges, supported by
specific reasons from the passage:
1. Poverty and Food Insecurity
○ Explanation: Tommy often goes hungry because no one in the household earns
an income.
○ Impact on Education: Hunger affects Tommy’s ability to concentrate in school
and engage in learning activities, leading to poor academic performance.
2. Caregiving Responsibilities
, ○ Explanation: Tommy and the other older children in the household take turns
staying home from school to care for their sick grandfather.
○ Impact on Education: Missing school days to care for his grandfather disrupts
Tommy’s education, causing him to fall behind in his studies.
3. Household Responsibilities
○ Explanation: Tommy must fetch water from a river 1 km from home every
morning before school and often works in neighbors' gardens to earn money for
food.
○ Impact on Education: These responsibilities make him late for school and leave
him exhausted, reducing his ability to focus and participate in class.
4. Emotional and Psychological Stress
○ Explanation: Tommy worries about his grandfather and is sad because his father
left home and never returned.
○ Impact on Education: This emotional burden contributes to his inability to
concentrate in school and exacerbates his academic struggles.
5. Lack of Awareness and Support from School
○ Explanation: The teacher is unaware of Tommy’s home situation, his frequent
absences, and his poor eyesight. She shouts at him for not doing his homework
and for his poor performance.
○ Impact on Education: The lack of understanding and support from the teacher
makes Tommy nervous, leading him to sit at the back of the class where he
cannot see the board properly due to his partial sightedness. This further
hampers his academic performance.
