NEP and role of school complexes in CPD – UGC NET Question

NEP 2020 highlights that school complexes can act as hubs for academic support. Teachers from clustered schools can meet for workshops, plan lessons together and observe each other’s classes. Shared resource centres also provide materials and expertise for CPD.

Option A:
Prohibiting joint training would negate the collaboration advantage of complexes. This option conflicts with the role NEP assigns to them.

Option B:
This option summarises the idea that complexes are spaces for collective professional growth and sharing. It directly echoes NEP’s formulation and is therefore correct.

Option C:
Ignoring academic issues and dealing only with infrastructure does not reflect the academic support function of complexes. NEP wants them to strengthen teaching and learning.

Option D:
Clerical work alone does not constitute professional development. Complex meetings are intended for pedagogical discussion, so this option is not aligned.
