UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 warns that if technology-based education expands without addressing access to devices, connectivity and skills, existing socio-economic inequalities may become worse rather than better.

Option A:
Assuming that technology automatically benefits all learners equally ignores differences in income, geography and digital literacy that NEP explicitly highlights.

Option B:
This option is correct because it captures the policy’s caution that edtech must be planned with equity in mind so the digital divide is narrowed, not widened.

Option C:
Arguing that only urban students should use technology contradicts NEP’s aim of bridging rural–urban gaps through inclusive digital infrastructure.

Option D:
Suggesting that technology should replace teachers conflicts with NEP’s view of teachers as central actors, with technology supporting rather than substituting them.
