State True or False: Debates over textbook content focus only on elementary education because of the vulnerability of young children.

Expert Solution
INTRODUCTION

Education is the basic need for individuals in the contemporary context. The traditional societies were dependent on natural resources for sustenance. Later on, in the agricultural societies, there is only the requirement of physical labor efficiency in agricultural societies to earn a livelihood.
