The National Education Policy document of 1986 revised in 1992 suggested

Concept

A national education policy sets broad directions for access, quality, technology, regulation, and the relationship between education and employment.

A proposal must be read in the policy’s own terms, because a reversed or narrowed formulation changes its meaning.

Application

The 1986 policy, as modified in 1992, promotes educational technology and the use of media to extend learning opportunities. Its open-learning provisions connect these tools with distance education, so the multimedia proposal matches the policy direction.

Contrast

• Linking degrees with jobs: the policy instead discusses selectively delinking degrees from jobs and using competency tests for recruitment.

• Abolition of AICTE: the policy framework assigns coordination and standards functions in technical education rather than proposing abolition of the council.

• Research only for degrees: the policy treats research as knowledge creation and support for development, not as an activity restricted to obtaining degrees.

Cross-check

The other formulations either reverse the policy’s wording or impose a restriction that the document does not make.

Result

The suggested measure is the use of multimedia for distance education.
