Which of the following is not a learning outcome in EVS for students of Class III ?

The correct option is Voices opinion on issues observed/experienced and relates to social practices such as discrimination in ownership of resources.

Explanation:

Environmental Studies (EVS) at the primary stage aims to help children explore, understand, and connect with their immediate environment. The NCERT curriculum outlines age-appropriate learning outcomes for each class level:

1. Class III Learning Outcomes:
At the Class III level, children focus on immediate surroundings, basic sensory experiences, simple rules, safety, and spatial awareness. For example:
- Expressing feelings and opinions on safety issues like good touch and bad touch.
- Observing simple rules in local, indoor, and outdoor games.
- Identifying basic directions (East, West, North, South) relative to their classroom or immediate space.

2. Class IV and V Learning Outcomes:
Complex social themes—such as critical reflection on social practices, inequality, equity, and discrimination in the ownership of community/natural resources—require higher cognitive maturity and critical thinking. Therefore, voicing opinions on complex socio-economic concepts like resource ownership and systemic discrimination is expected in higher primary classes (Class IV and Class V), rather than Class III.

Thus, expressing opinions on discrimination in ownership of resources is not expected as a learning outcome for students of Class III.
