NEP and private school fees – UGC NET Question

NEP 2020 states that private schools must be regulated to ensure reasonable and transparently declared fees so that quality education is not restricted only to those who can pay very high charges.

Option A:
Allowing arbitrary, opaque fee structures would risk exploitation and deepen inequities, which NEP seeks to reduce.

Option B:
This option reflects the policy’s balanced stance of permitting private participation while insisting on social responsibility and regulatory oversight.

Option C:
Making all private education free is not the approach; NEP instead focuses on reasonable fees and scholarships.

Option D:
The policy explicitly discusses regulation of private school fees, so claiming NEP is silent on this issue is incorrect.
