B{'text': 'Reduce socio-cultural bias in classrooms', 'label': 'B'}
C{'text': 'Make inclusion easier for the teacher', 'label': 'C'}
D{'text': 'Create helplessness and stigmatisation', 'label': 'D'}
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. {'text': 'Create helplessness and stigmatisation', 'label': 'D'}
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.
