NEP 2020 calls for strengthening NIOS and state open schools so that children and youth who missed regular schooling can still complete their education. Open schooling offers flexible entry, pacing and modes, making it a key strategy for universalising school education.
Option A:
Abolishing open schooling would remove an important second-chance mechanism and go directly against NEP’s recommendation to expand and improve it.
Option B:
This option is correct because it directly states the inclusion-oriented purpose of open schooling: flexible pathways for those who dropped out or never enrolled.
Option C:
Reserving open schooling only for foreign nationals ignores its primary purpose of serving Indian learners who are out of school.
Option D:
Replacing all regular schools with open schooling is not suggested; NEP sees open schooling as complementary to, not a substitute for, regular schools.
