Option A correctly identifies the core goal of SSA as the Universalization of Elementary Education (UEE) in a time-bound manner.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect

- Option C is incorrect as SSA did not target the universalization of higher education.
- Option D is incorrect because while education contributes to skills, SSA's specific mandate was foundational elementary schooling, not skill development universally.
