Explanation

The National Education Policy treats the teacher as the pivot of fundamental reform, and it offers quality schooling to disadvantaged groups free of charge.

Statement 1 matches the policy, which makes the teacher the locus of basic reforms in the country's education system.

Statement 2 goes wrong on one word: such schooling is to be free, not paid, for historically marginalised or disadvantaged learners.

The policy stresses that access should not depend on a learner's place of residence or economic condition.

Equity and inclusion run through the document as core commitments to these very sections.

The policy was released in 2020 and replaced the earlier framework of 1986.
