UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 proposes SSSA as an independent regulator that sets and monitors minimum quality and safety standards for all schools, while separating regulation from day-to-day school operation.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because if SSSA directly ran schools, it would mix regulatory and operational roles, which the policy wants to separate.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it captures SSSA’s core function as a standards-setting and monitoring body for both government and private schools.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since textbook pricing is only a narrow administrative issue and not the main mandate of SSSA.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because teacher salary payments are handled through administrative and finance systems, not by a regulatory authority.
