Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Statement 1 is correct because SCERT in Uttar Pradesh was established in Lucknow in 1981 for teacher training and curriculum development. Statement 2 is incorrect because Wood's Despatch came in 1854 and Allahabad University was established in 1887; although Allahabad University is the oldest university in Uttar Pradesh (then United Provinces), it was not directly constituted on the recommendation of Wood's Despatch. Rather, the universities of Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras were established in 1857 based on Wood's Despatch, whereas Allahabad University is the fourth oldest in the country and the oldest in the state. Statement 3 is completely correct because the 'Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Act' was passed in 1972 under which the Basic Education Council was established. Therefore, only statements 1 and 3 are correct.
