National Mission for Mentoring – UGC NET Question

NEP 2020 recognises the need for high-quality mentoring for teachers at all levels. The National Mission for Mentoring will identify and support excellent educators who will guide others. This peer-based mentoring aims to raise teaching standards and share best practices. It is a key lever for professional development.

Option A:
Recruiting only foreign teachers as mentors is not the intent of the mission; NEP 2020 emphasises drawing on India’s own experienced teachers.

Option B:
This option directly reflects NEP’s description of a national cadre of mentors drawn from the best teachers.

Option C:
Training only sports coaches is far narrower than the broad mentoring vision for teachers and faculty.

Option D:
Administrative staff supervision is not the mission’s focus; it is centred on academic mentoring.
