Which of the following statements of the New Education Policy, 2020 are to be implemented for the universalisation of education from pre-school to secondary level?

A100% Gross Enrolment Ratio in school education by 2030 ✓ Correct
B50% Gross Enrolment Ratio in higher education by 2025
CBoth (a) and (b)
DNone of the above
Correct answer: (A) 100% Gross Enrolment Ratio in school education by 2030
Explanation

Universalising education from pre-school to secondary level rests on achieving a 100% Gross Enrolment Ratio in school education by 2030, the only fitting statement.

A 50% Gross Enrolment Ratio target concerns higher education, not the pre-school to secondary span, and its year is 2035 rather than 2025.

Treating both as jointly required for school-level universalisation is therefore inaccurate.

Saying none applies is also wrong, since the 100% school Gross Enrolment Ratio goal squarely fits.

The school goal is backed by bringing about two crore out-of-school children back into schooling.

NEP 2020 sets universal foundational literacy and numeracy as its first milestone.
