UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 links student health and nutrition directly with learning outcomes. It suggests that schools coordinate with health ministries to conduct regular screenings and maintain health cards. These records help track growth, address issues early and align schemes like mid-day meals with nutritional needs.

Option A:
Saying schools should not engage in health matters ignores NEP’s holistic view of child development.

Option B:
This option reflects the integrative vision where schools become hubs for basic health monitoring in partnership with other departments.

Option C:
A one-time check at admission is insufficient for ongoing monitoring and is not proposed.

Option D:
Online surveys alone cannot detect many health problems that require physical examination.
