Q46

Comparing NAS 2017 with NAS 2021, which of the following changed in 2021? 1. Class 10 was added to the classes assessed 2. Private recognised and Central Government schools were included 3. The survey was administered by CBSE, on a framework by NCERT 4. It was conducted in 22 languages Select the correct answer using the code given below:

  1. (a) 1, 2 and 3 only
  2. (b) 1, 2, 3 and 4
  3. (c) 2, 3 and 4 only
  4. (d) 1 and 4 only
Answer (b).

All four changed in 2021. NAS 2017, held on 13 November 2017, covered Classes 3, 5 and 8 in government and government-aided schools, about 22 lakh students in 1,10,000 schools across 701 districts. NAS 2021, held on 12 and 13 November 2021, added Class 10, included private recognised and Central Government schools, covered about 34 lakh students in 1,18,274 schools across 720 districts, was conducted in 22 languages, and was administered by CBSE on a framework prepared by NCERT, with a special focus on learning loss due to COVID-19. No planted error. Its most quoted finding is the same one PRS later reported: performance declines as children move to higher classes — Punjab and Rajasthan topped, while Telangana, Arunachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh were low.

Q37

Statement-I: In a minority educational institution, the School Management Committee has only an advisory function. Statement-II: This protects the rights of minorities under Article 30(1) to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. Select the correct answer using the code given below:

  1. (a) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct, and Statement-II explains Statement-I
  2. (b) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct, but Statement-II does not explain Statement-I
  3. (c) Statement-I is correct, but Statement-II is incorrect
  4. (d) Statement-I is incorrect, but Statement-II is correct
Answer (a).

Both are true and the second is precisely the reason for the first. A statutory committee with real management powers, three-quarters of it parents, would displace the minority community's own administration of its institution — which is exactly what Article 30(1) protects. So for minority institutions, religious or linguistic, the SMC is advisory only. (b) severs a link that is the whole rationale. (c) and (d) reject a position the source calls a favourite MCQ. Note the separate exemption: private unaided schools need not constitute an SMC at all, because they already have management committees under their trust or society registration. Government, government-aided and special category schools such as KVs and Navodayas must constitute one.

Q48

Under the NEP 2020 architecture, match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the code given below:

List-I (Function) List-II (Body)
A. Policy-making 1. State School Standards Authority
B. Regulation 2. Directorate of School Education
C. Operations 3. Department of School Education
D. Academic standards and SQAAF 4. SCERT
  1. (a) A-3, B-1, C-2, D-4
  2. (b) A-1, B-3, C-2, D-4
  3. (c) A-3, B-2, C-1, D-4
  4. (d) A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2
Answer (a).

NEP 2020 separates four functions that were earlier all held by the Education Department: policy-making stays with the Department of School Education; regulation — recognition, minimum standards and public disclosure — goes to the new State School Standards Authority; operations, meaning the running of government schools, to the Directorate of School Education; and academic standards, curriculum and SQAAF to SCERT in consultation with NCERT. (b), (c) and (d) shuffle these. This separation of powers is itself the exam point, and it has a direct consequence for a school head: the body that recognises your school and the body that runs it are no longer the same body, and the SSSA also grades schools and requires the grade to be displayed.
