Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

The separation of work from knowledge was operationalised by separation of training from education. The former was intended to transfer the skills of labour and the secrets of craftsmanship to the younger generation of the toiling poor so as to enable them to produce value from the sweat of their labour. The latter was intended to pass on the abstracted generalisations of social practice as gems of knowledge to the younger generations of the propertied class so as to enable them to wield power through a monopoly of such knowledge and appropriate surpluses generated by the labour of the former. The essentially integrated task of transferring the accumulated social experience of mankind to the younger generation was thus fractured.

The continuum of the primitive stage was transformed into the dichotomy of class socities. The world of the master craftsman and his disciples was a world apart from the protected cloisters where in the wise debated on the number of angles that could comfortably sit on the point of the needle. This tradition of separating work from knowledge and work from power has been the basis for the exclusion of the toilets from the domain of knowledge by denying education to them, and from the domain of power by closing its door to the uneducated. Viewed thus, education may be considered to be the most potent instrument of inequalisation in history. This distortion way partially corrected in the developed countries of the west under the impact of the Industrial Revolution. With qualitative transformation of technology, it was no longer possible for the skilled craftsman to participate in production without transcending the boundaries of training and moving into the work of education. The blacksmith was to be rooted in the science of metallurgy and tanner in chemical technology. The hitherto unsurmountable wall between training and education had to be breached in the new situation. It became possible to do so in the traditionally virgin ethos of the lands across the Atlantic wherever the tanner and the historian, the blacksmith and the physicist, the tiller and the poet were put together in the wilderness of the wildwest to fashion their common destiny.
