SSSA coverage of schools – UGC NET Question

NEP 2020 stresses that both public and private schools must meet minimum quality norms. SSSA is meant to act as an independent standards authority for all schools. It ensures a level playing field and protects student interests irrespective of management type.

Option A:
Limiting SSSA to government schools would ignore the large private sector where many students study.

Option B:
Regulating only private unaided schools would leave other types outside the quality framework.

Option C:
This option correctly describes SSSA as a common regulator for quality standards across school types.

Option D:
Focusing just on international schools would be too narrow and is not suggested.
