Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Concept

Universalism in education treats humanity as interconnected and prepares learners to live constructively across national and cultural differences. It therefore emphasizes social dispositions that support international understanding, rather than economic performance or legal compliance alone.

Application

IGNOU's BES-122 study material explains that education for universalism should create an environment of cooperation, tolerance, mutual trust, dependence, and friendship, and that teaching for world understanding should help children grow as global citizens. The qualities named in the stem therefore align directly with cooperation, tolerance, and mutual trust.

Contrast

  • Economic self-sufficiency goals address economic autonomy, not the interpersonal basis of international understanding.

  • Competitive economic performance measures comparative economic outcomes, not relationships across cultures and nations.

  • Strict adherence to legal order emphasizes formal compliance, whereas universalism requires constructive attitudes toward other people and societies.

Cross-check

The source links global citizenship to world understanding and then names cooperation, tolerance, and mutual trust as the enabling environment. This direct wording excludes the economic and legal alternatives.

Result

Education should foster cooperation, tolerance, and mutual trust.
