School clustering via complexes – UGC NET Question

Organising schools into complexes or clusters is intended to allow sharing of teachers, laboratories, libraries and other academic resources so that even small schools can offer quality learning opportunities.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because keeping each school in isolation defeats the purpose of clustering, which is to pool resources and expertise.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it describes the main academic benefit of complexes, namely shared specialist staff and facilities across nearby schools.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since NEP wants to expand co curricular opportunities, not restrict them.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because the goal of complexes is to strengthen rural schooling, not to close rural schools permanently.
