Q1. Consider the following statements: 1. Samagra Shiksha treats school education as a continuum from pre-school to senior secondary stage. 2. Samagra Shiksha subsumed Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan and Teacher Education. 3. Samagra Shiksha is implemented through a separate State Implementation Society for each level of school education. 4. Bridging social and gender gaps in school education is among the major objectives of Samagra Shiksha. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Explanation
Statements 1, 2 and 4 are correct. The official Samagra Shiksha page describes the scheme as a pre-school to senior-secondary continuum, says it subsumes SSA, RMSA and Teacher Education, and includes bridging social and gender gaps among the objectives. Statement 3 is false: implementation is through a single State Implementation Society at the State/UT level.
