NEP and school audits – UGC NET Question

NEP 2020 encourages schools and school complexes to conduct self-audits and self-evaluations and to use the findings to revise their Institutional Development Plans, thereby fostering internal accountability and continuous improvement.

Option A:
Solely relying on external inspections can foster a compliance mindset rather than genuine self-improvement.

Option B:
This option captures NEP’s emphasis on participatory, school-led reflection and planning as a complement to external monitoring.

Option C:
Having no review at all would allow problems to persist unnoticed and conflicts with the policy’s push for quality.

Option D:
Focusing audits only on canteen menus ignores the core teaching–learning processes and broader school functioning.
