NCF 2005 distinguishes curriculum and syllabus. The curriculum is best described as which of the following?
AA list of the topics to be examined for marks
BA single prescribed textbook for each school class
CA plan to develop capabilities for educational aims
DA timetable allotting class periods to each subject
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. A plan to develop capabilities for educational aims
1. NCF 2005 defines the curriculum within its discussion of knowledge and aims.
2. It states the curriculum is a plan to develop capabilities that help achieve the chosen educational aims.
3. A list of examined topics confuses it with a syllabus; a textbook or timetable reduces it too narrowly.
4. Hence the plan-to-develop-capabilities option is correct.
