What does 'learning without burden' in the context of Environmental Studies imply?

  • A.Less weight of schoolbag
  • B.Less number of chapters in EVS textbooks
  • C.Load of incomprehension needs to be reduced
  • D.The EVS curriculum needs to be reduced to half

Answer: C

It implies that the load of incomprehension needs to be reduced.

The Yash Pal Committee's report Learning without Burden (1993) argued that the real burden on children is not the weight of the school bag but the burden of not understanding: having to memorise information that has no meaning for them. Reducing that burden means making learning meaningful and connected to children's lives.

A lighter school bag, fewer chapters or a halved curriculum treat the symptom, the physical load, rather than the main problem the report identified.
