Choose the correct option :
Correct Answer :
B and C
Solution :
The correct option is B and C.
Let us analyze each statement regarding the curricular practice currently followed in Indian school education systems (such as NCERT/CBSE):
Statement A: "Science and Mathematics are being taught integratedly as ‘Science and Technology’ in elementary classes."
Incorrect. In elementary classes (Classes 6 to 8), Science is taught as a single integrated subject combining physical, chemical, and biological concepts, while Mathematics is taught as a separate distinct subject. They are not merged into a single subject named 'Science and Technology'.
Statement B: "Physics, Chemistry and Biology are being taught integratedly as ‘Science’ in secondary classes."
Correct. In secondary classes (Classes 9 and 10), the disciplines of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology are taught as an integrated subject simply called 'Science' rather than as separate disciplines.
Statement C: "Science and Social Science are being taught integratedly as ‘EVS’ in primary classes."
Correct. In primary classes (Classes 3 to 5), Environmental Studies (EVS) integrates concepts and issues from Science, Social Studies, and Environmental Education as per the National Curriculum Framework (NCF).
Therefore, statements B and C are correct, making B and C the right choice.
