According to NCF 2005, the term 'National Curriculum Framework' is often wrongly construed to mean what?
AThat an instrument of uniformity is being proposed
BThat schools may design any curriculum freely
CThat textbooks are being abolished nationwide
DThat examinations will be made compulsory
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. That an instrument of uniformity is being proposed
1. NCF 2005 clarifies a common misunderstanding of its own name.
2. It says the term is often wrongly construed to mean that an instrument of uniformity is being proposed.
3. The intention, drawn from NPE 1986 and the PoA, was the contrary: responding to India's diversity while keeping a common core of values.
4. The other options are not the stated misconception, so the instrument-of-uniformity option is correct.
