Read the following passage and answer the question. "In modern classrooms, educators face the challenge of meeting the diverse needs of all learners. Differentiated instruction is an approach that tailors teaching methods, content, and assessment to accommodate individual students' learning styles, readiness levels, and interests. Rather than presenting a one-size-fits-all curriculum, teachers who practice differentiated instruction provide multiple pathways to learning the same core content. Research suggests that when students receive instruction matched to their readiness and learning preferences, academic engagement increases significantly. Critics of the approach, however, argue that it places unrealistic demands on teachers who must already manage large class sizes and extensive administrative responsibilities." What is the primary purpose of differentiated instruction as described in this passage?
