UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 highlights peer tutoring as a low-cost, effective strategy, particularly for foundational literacy and numeracy. Older or more advanced students can assist others under a teacher’s supervision, making learning more personalised and collaborative.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because NEP explicitly notes that peer tutoring can be effective; it does not advise avoiding it.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it matches NEP’s recommendation to use peer support, especially for FLN, under proper teacher guidance.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect since NEP does not propose replacing teachers; peer tutoring is meant to supplement, not substitute, teacher-led instruction.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because peer tutoring can be useful at various levels, including school education, not only in higher education.
