NCF 2005 argues that when communities question what is included in the curriculum, the school should do what?
ARefer them to the state-level decision and end discussion
BExclude parents from all curricular matters
CDrop any content that any community dislikes
DEngage with communities and explain the educational value
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Engage with communities and explain the educational value
1. NCF 2005 discusses communities' questions about inclusion or exclusion of knowledge.
2. It says the school must be prepared to engage with communities, listen to concerns and persuade them of the educational value of decisions.
3. It explicitly says it is not good enough to say decisions were taken at the state level.
4. Excluding parents and dropping disliked content contradict treating parents as legitimate stakeholders, so engaging and explaining the value is correct.
