SBI Clerk English Sectional Mock Test 12

1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given after it. When the factory shifted to a night roster, many of its young workers had to give up the evening classes they had been attending. The owner, who had left school early himself, decided to bring the classes to them. He set aside a room in the factory, hired two teachers and allowed workers to study for an hour before their shift began. At first, only a handful came. Many were tired, and some felt embarrassed to sit in a classroom again. The teachers adjusted. They used examples from the workers' own jobs, such as calculating the weight of a load or reading safety instructions, and allowed people to learn at their own pace. Within two years, more than forty workers had passed school-level examinations, and several had been promoted to supervisory roles. The owner noticed fewer accidents and less absenteeism, which he believes are linked to the classes. Workers who felt that their employer cared about their future were, he says, more careful and more loyal. The experiment has drawn interest from other factories in the area. Its lesson is simple: education does not have to stop when work begins, and employers who invest in their workers' learning often gain as much as the workers do.
