ATeacher-proof
BLearner-chosen
CLocally written
DMultilingual
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Teacher-proof
1. NCERT looks at curricula and how they are implemented.
2. The 1960s structural curriculum aimed at teacher-proof material.
3. This model failed linguistically, pedagogically and psychologically.
4. Learner-chosen, local and multilingual material are what NCERT later urges.
**Why not the others:** Learner-chosen, locally written and multilingual materials are what NCERT recommends, not the structural curriculum's aim.
