Candidate A: Read the following excerpt from ‘Skills You Need' website and comment on the information provided.

‘Most people associate learning with formal education at school, college, university etc. We are all told, from an early age, that we should ‘get a good education'. Generally speaking, it is true that a formal education and the resulting qualifications are important. Education may maximise our potential to find better, more satisfying jobs, earn more and, perhaps, become more successful in our chosen career. However, ‘schooling' is only one type of learning. There are many other opportunities to further your knowledge and develop the skills you need throughout life'.

‘Science helps satisfy the natural curiosity with which we are all born: why is the sky blue, how did the leopard get its spots, what is a solar eclipse? With science, we can answer such questions without resorting to magical explanations. And science can lead to technological advances, as well as helping us learn about enormously important and useful topics, such as our health, the environment, and natural hazards. Without science, the modern world would not be modern at all, and we still have much to learn. Millions of scientists all over the world are working to solve different parts of the puzzle of how the universe works, peering into its nooks and crannies, deploying their microscopes, telescopes, and other tools to unravel its secrets'.
