    Solution

    The Union government has recently ordered all states and UTs to make six years the minimum age of admission for Class 1, by the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Hence, Statement 1 is correct. The new NEP pitches for a тАЬ5+3+3+4тАЭ design for formal schooling corresponding to the age groups 3-8 years (foundational stage), 8-11 years (preparatory stage), 11-14 years (middle stage), and 14-18 years (secondary stage). This brings early childhood education (also known as preschool education for children of ages 3 to 5 years) under the ambit of formal schooling.┬а
