The correct answer is: a) Primary education.
The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) is an Indian government programme aimed at providing free and compulsory education to all children aged 6 to 14 years. It was launched in 2001 and is one of the largest education programmes in the world.
The SSA aims to achieve universalization of primary education by providing access to quality education for all children, regardless of their social or economic background. It also aims to improve the quality of education by providing training to teachers and developing new teaching methods.
The SSA has been successful in increasing access to education in India. The number of children enrolled in primary school has increased from 83% in 2001 to 93% in 2011. The SSA has also helped to improve the quality of education. The average learning levels of children have improved, and the dropout rate has decreased.
However, the SSA has faced some challenges. One challenge is that the quality of education is not uniform across the country. Some states have made more progress than others in improving the quality of education. Another challenge is that the SSA has not been able to reach all children, especially those from poor families and those living in remote areas.
Despite these challenges, the SSA has made a significant contribution to education in India. It has helped to increase access to education and improve the quality of education for millions of children.
The other options are incorrect because the SSA does not aim to achieve universalization of secondary education, higher education, or vocational education.
