Explanation
A meaningful state-union partnership in education flows from its place on the Concurrent List.
The assertion about a partnership in managing education is sound.
The reason is sound too, since the 1976 amendment shifted education to the Concurrent List.
Because both tiers share authority over a concurrent subject, joint management follows and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
Education had earlier been a State subject before this change.
The Forty-second Amendment of 1976 made this transfer to the Concurrent List.
