NEP view on coaching culture – UGC NET Question

NEP 2020 recognises that an intense coaching culture around entrance exams creates stress and inequity and therefore aims to reduce dependence on coaching by improving school education and reforming examinations.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because the policy does not encourage students to spend most of their time in coaching centres; it sees excessive coaching as a problem.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it explains that NEP seeks to strengthen schools and make exams more competency based and less high stakes, reducing the need for external coaching.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since making every school run profit oriented coaching centres would blur the line between education and commercial test preparation.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because using coaching centre marks as the sole basis for admissions is not suggested anywhere in the document.
