NCF 2005 argues that contemporary concerns of society are best addressed in the curriculum by which means?
AProducing a fresh textbook for every new theme
BAdding a separate examination for each concern
CIncorporating them through existing subjects and activities
DCreating a new separate subject for each concern
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Incorporating them through existing subjects and activities
1. NCF 2005 discusses the temptation to address new concerns by 'creating' new subjects.
2. It argues these concerns may be far better addressed if incorporated through existing subjects and ongoing activities.
3. It warns that adding new 'subjects' only increases curriculum load and perpetuates compartmentalisation.
4. Fresh textbooks, separate examinations and new subjects are exactly the approach the text warns against, so incorporating through existing subjects is correct.
