Suggested Remedies
(1) The government and other stakeholders in education should organize periodic seminars to train and re-train teachers of Literature.
(2)  Students should be encouraged to always read very well.
(3)  Qualified English teachers should be employed to teach Literature and students should be discouraged from relying on abridged texts for study purposes.

Efforts should be Intensified to provide prescribed textbooks in schools and candidates should be encouraged to read them under the guidance of competent teachers.
