alleryNCF 2005 cautions that labelling individual students or groups as 'learning disabled' tends to:
AImprove targeted remediation outcomes
BReduce socio-cultural bias in classrooms
CMake inclusion easier for the teacher
DCreate helplessness and stigmatisation
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Create helplessness and stigmatisation
1. NCF 2005 §2.3.4 reads: 'Labelling an individual student or a group of students as learning disabled etc. creates a sense of helplessness, inferiority and stigmatisation.'
2. The framework also warns that labels overshadow real difficulties arising from socio-cultural background or inappropriate pedagogy.
3. The other options invert the framework's stance on inclusion.
