Q4. You are the headmaster of a school in one of the remotest village in the state. You are a respectable person in the village, as you have always focused on child’s education and overall development.
Pandemic has largely affected the performance of children in your school, as children were unable to access online education. Working with several NGOs and local leaders you have provided them with smartphones. Though it has helped many students few of them have started helping their parents in their fields and are not interested in pursuing their education further. As they are not inclined towards studies, their parents are also not interested in educating them further as they feel their kids are more helpful in the field.
Meanwhile, they have sold the smartphones provided to them. You are upset because of this. But at the same time, you want to make sure that they return to school and continue their education.
In light of the above situation,
1) What are the ethical issues involved when someone misuses their benefits?
2) Discuss the measures, which you are going to employ to convince the parents, and students who don’t want to return to school.
