Q33

Under the NCPCR Manual on Safety and Security of Children in Schools (2021), if its recommendations after a checklist inspection are not complied with, the School Management Committee escalates the matter in which order? (i) District Magistrate (ii) Block Education Officer (iii) State / National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (iv) District Education Officer Select the correct answer using the code given below:

  1. (a) (ii) – (iv) – (i) – (iii)
  2. (b) (iv) – (ii) – (i) – (iii)
  3. (c) (ii) – (i) – (iv) – (iii)
  4. (d) (i) – (iv) – (ii) – (iii)
Answer (a).

The manual says: in case of non-compliance "SMC should approach the Block Education Officer (BEO). In case of non redressal of the grievances at BEO level the matter should be taken up with District Education Officer (DEO). If the issues are not addressed by the DEO, appeal can be made to the District Magistrate (DM) and further to State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR) and National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR)." So BEO → DEO → DM → SCPCR/NCPCR. (b) starts at the DEO and skips the block. (c) puts the DM before the DEO. (d) starts at the top of the district. The ladder climbs the education line first, then the district administration, then the child-rights commissions.

Q5

Under the all-hazard approach of the NDMA School Safety Policy Guidelines, 2016, match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the code given below:

List-I (Hazard) List-II (Type)
A. Faulty construction 1. Non-structural
B. Blocked evacuation routes 2. Structural
C. Loose building elements 3. Non-structural
D. Infestation of the campus by snakes and pests 4. Structural
  1. (a) A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3
  2. (b) A-1, B-2, C-4, D-3
  3. (c) A-2, B-4, C-1, D-3
  4. (d) A-2, B-1, C-3, D-4
Answer (a).

The Guidelines list structural factors as dilapidated buildings, poorly designed structures, faulty construction, poorly maintained infrastructure and loose building elements; and non-structural factors as loosely placed heavy objects such as almirahs, infestation by snakes and other pests, broken or no boundary walls, uneven flooring, blocked evacuation routes, poorly placed furniture and inadequate sanitation. So faulty construction and loose building elements are structural, and blocked routes and pests are non-structural. (b), (c) and (d) each misplace one pair. The rule of thumb: structural means the fabric of the building itself; non-structural means everything placed in, around or near it.

Q34

Under the NCPCR Manual on Safety and Security of Children in Schools (2021), which of the following are required for school buses? 1. Speed control devices so that buses do not exceed 40 kmph 2. A driver with a valid licence and at least 5 years' experience of driving heavy vehicles 3. A medical check-up of the driver, including eye testing, every year Select the correct answer using the code given below:

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

All three are in the manual's school-transport section, which it bases on the Supreme Court's guidelines: "All school buses must be fitted with speed control devices so that they do not exceed the speed limit of 40 Kmph"; "the driver should have valid license and at least 5 years of experience of driving heavy vehicles"; and "medical checkup regarding the physical fitness of the driver including the eye testing shall be made every year". The same section asks for a qualified attendant, preferably female, police verification of bus staff, horizontal grills with mesh on windows, a fire extinguisher and a first-aid box. No planted error — 40 and 5 are the two numbers examiners reach for.
