Quintessence Classes · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 1and 2only. Here is a breakdown of the statements:Statement 1 is correct: The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan includes substantial provisions for strengthening existing school infrastructure. This involves constructing new schools, adding classrooms, and building essential facilities like drinking water stations and toilets.Statement 2 is correct: A major component of the scheme is improving the quality of education. It achieves this by providing extensive academic resource support and periodic in-service training to teachers to enhance their skills.Statement 3 is incorrect: This is the catch in the question. The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is exclusively aimed at the universalization of elementary education (typically covering classes one to eight, for children aged six to fourteen years). It does not deal with secondary education. Maintaining the pupil teacher ratio at the secondary level was previously the focus of the Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan.
