    Solution

    NEP states that small school sizes have rendered it economically suboptimal and operationally complex to run good schools, in terms of deployment of teachers as well as the provision of critical physical resources. Further, geographical dispersion, challenging access conditions, and the very large numbers of schools make it difficult to reach all schools equally Thus, NEP calls for grouping of schools to form clusters/complex which will facilitate improved support for children with disabilities, more topic-centred clubs and academic/sports/arts/crafts events across school complexes, better incorporation of art, music, language, vocational subjects, physical education, and other subjects in the classroom through the sharing of teachers in these subjects including use of ICT tools.
