उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (d) कार्यकलाप और खोज के माध्यम से शिक्षा-प्राप्ति का अंतर्निवेशन (इन्कल्केटिंग लर्निंग)
Right after saying quality is integral to the right to education, the passage cites the Act: the curriculum should provide for 'learning through activities, exploration and discovery'. That is its route to quality.
- ✗ (a) Children's attendance is discussed under access, not quality; teachers' attendance is not mentioned.
- ✗ (b) Pay or incentives for teachers appear nowhere in the passage.
- ✗ (c) Social and cultural factors come up in the first paragraph as reasons children stay away — an access issue, not the quality discussion.
- ✓ (d) The quality paragraph says the curriculum should provide for 'learning through activities, exploration and discovery' and asks us to stop treating children as passive receivers.
Remember · Match the option to the paragraph that answers the question; here access and quality are discussed in separate paragraphs.
