,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.

Highlight three (3) potential solutions or support mechanisms that
could improve Tommy's academic situation. What actions could
the school, teacher, or community take to address Tommy's
challenges and create a more conducive learning environment for
him? [6] [Sub-total=30]
Sure, let's break down the scenario and answer each part of the
question in detail.
1.1 Challenges Tommy Faces in Accessing Quality Education
Tommy faces numerous challenges that prevent him from
achieving his potential in school. Five specific challenges from the
passage are:
1. Distance and Travel Time to School:
o Reason: Tommy's school is 8 km away from his home.
This long distance likely means he spends a significant
amount of time traveling, which can be exhausting and
reduce the time available for rest, homework, and other
activities.
2. Household Responsibilities:
o Reason: Tommy must take care of his sick grandfather
and fetch water from a river 1 km away every morning.
These responsibilities not only take up time but also
exhaust him physically and mentally, leaving him less
able to focus on his schoolwork.
3. Economic Hardship and Hunger:
