How the exam will ask it
ਪ੍ਰੀਲਿਮਜ਼
- KSEAB is the Karnataka state body responsible for conducting the SSLC examination and assessment.
- Education is a Concurrent List subject, so both Parliament and State legislatures can make laws on it.
- Article 21A makes free and compulsory education a Fundamental Right for children aged 6 to 14 years.
ਮੇਨਜ਼
GS Paper II: governance and education administration. Exam fee hikes by state boards raise questions of affordability and access, set against the Article 21A guarantee and the RTE Act, 2009. Way forward: fee waivers for SC/ST and economically weaker students, transparent cost justification, and digital processes to cut administrative costs.
