Which of the following is NOT a guiding principal for curriculum development

NCF (National Curriculum Framework) 2005 is one of the four NCF published in India by NCERT. It seeks to provide a framework for the betterment of educational purposes and experiences.

Key Points

The fact that learning has become a source of burden and stress on children and their parents is evidence of a deep distortion in educational aims and quality. To correct this distortion, the present NCF proposes five guiding principles for curriculum development:

• connecting knowledge to life outside the school
• ensuring that learning shifts away from rote methods
• enriching the curriculum so that it goes beyond textbooks
• making examinations more flexible and integrating them with classroom life
• nurturing an overriding identity informed by caring concerns within the democratic polity of the country

Hence, we conclude that making examination easier and integrated into classroom life is not the guiding principle recommended by the National Curriculum Framework 2005.
