UPSC CAPF – 2012
– Assumption I (“Students want to study without a teacher”) is not implied. The statement doesn’t suggest student preference; the method might be used due to necessity, convenience, or other reasons unrelated to student desire.
– Assumption II (“Teachers are incapable of teaching”) is not implied. The statement doesn’t comment on the capability of teachers. TV teaching is presented as an alternative or supplementary method, possibly used *because* a teacher is unavailable, not *because* teachers are incompetent. Capable teachers might even design the TV content.
– The statement focuses on the ‘how’ and ‘what’ of TV teaching in a particular scenario, not the ‘why’ in terms of inherent preference or capability relative to traditional teaching.
