Answer 2

National Policy of Education (NPE) gave due importance to enhancement  of education in "educationally backward areas". The NPE perceived the problem of women education in India and hence, stressed the necessity for equal opportunities for all.

Explanation:

NPE,1986

• The new policy demanded a special focus on the elimination of disparities and equal opportunities for education , particularly for Indian women, the Scheduled Tribes (ST) and communities of Scheduled Caste (SC).
• To order to accomplish this social inclusion, the program came up with an increase to college grants, adult education, hiring more SC teachers, empowering disadvantaged families to routinely send their children to kindergarten, establishing new facilities and providing housing & services.
• In primary education, the NPE called for a "child-centered approach" and initiated a "Project Blackboard" to strengthen basic schools throughout the region. With the "Indira Gandhi" "National Open University (IGNOU)", established in 1985, the NPE expanded the "open-university system".
• The policy also called for the establishment, based on "Mahatma Gandhi 's ideology", of the rural university model, to support the grassroots economic and social development of rural India.

NPE, 1992

1. The 1986 NPE was modified in  the year 1992 & a new policy centered on the "Common Minimum Programe" was adopted. This NPE envisaged conducting common entrance exams on "All India" basis for  the purpose of admission to technical & professional programs in the nation.
2. For admission to Architecture/Planning & Engineering programs the Indian govt laid down a 3-Exam Scheme (AIEEE & JEE at the National Level & the "State-Level Engineering" entrance exams for State-Level Institutions, with an option to join AIEEE).
3. This provides for different admission standards and helps to maintain professional standards. This also solves overlaps problems and decreases the physical , psychological or financial burden for parents and students because of the multiplicity of entrance exams.
