C is wrong. – It has an SVA error in “fund”.
D is wrong. – Without “to” the meaning of the sentence changes. It removes the implication of intent on the Org’s part.
E is wrong. – “funding” changes the meaning. This sentence says that the funding is a result of the requirement.
B is wrong. - “and” changes the meaning of the sentence, removing the connection between ensuring the quality of the teachers and providing funding.
A is the right answer.

Why is "degree" not plural?
"all teachers have degrees...."
"all teachers have degrees...."
I'm with this guy. Should be degrees.

Dear egmat
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Finland requires that all teachers have master’s degree and funds the same to ensure that its teachers impart high quality of teaching.
A. degree and funds the same to ensure
B. degree, funds the same, and ensures
C. degree and fund the same to ensure
D. degree, funds the same, ensuring
E. degree, funding the same to ensure
I have a problem with the OE given.
The existence of the verb “requires that..” triggers a subjunctive form therefore the subject that follows HAS to perform the ensuing actions in plural verb form.
I have a question regarding your answer. Who is it that should fund the teachers’ masters degree? If it is the teachers themselves, then you have to use the plural “fund”. If it is Finland, then it is still “fund” because we are in subjunctive mood.
I think in order to labour about meaning of the sentence, you may have introduced a grammatical error unfortunately. Please explain clearly the difference between A and C, as the only difference is the plural and singular form of “fund”, and why the singular is correct in your opinion?
I am happy to change my opinion on this provided a reasonable explanation for the difference is given.
Thank you.
