Re: Advisor: The government of city of Benzaria should discontinue the req [#permalink]
Advisor: The government of city of Benzaria should discontinue the requirement from all schools to provide video recordings of classroom sessions to the students. The costs implications to maintain such a facility is quite significant for the schools. On the other hand, the benefit is non-existent as can be seen from the fact that since the implementation of the plan, the difference in the test score of students in Benzaria and that of students in Karamal hasn’t come down even though Karamal hasn’t implemented this program.

Critique: I disagree. The implementation of the program in Benzaria has forced the government in Karamal to maintain better school standards in order to compete with Benzaria for federal government funds that are allocated on the basis of the average student test scores in the city.

The answer is option D. The better school standards in Karamal has led to no reduction in the student test scores gap between Benzaria and Karamal.

The critique suggest, scores of both KARAMEL and BENZARIA have gone up. The assumption is that better standards of KARAMEL have risen the scores in karamel.

Thus the above reasoning is supportive of the critique's argument that Benzaria should continue with what it is doing now
