  • A.To nurture the curiosity and creativity of the child particularly in relation to the natural environment.
  • B.To engage the child in exploratory and hands on activities to acquire basic cognitive and psychomotor skills through observation, classification, inference, etc.
  • C.To train children to locate and comprehend relationships between the natural, social and cultural environment.
  • D.To develop precise quantitative skills among children through understanding of environmental issues.

Answer: D

The objective that should NOT be pursued is to develop precise quantitative skills among children through understanding of environmental issues.

The NCF 2005 objectives for EVS at the primary level include nurturing curiosity and creativity about the natural environment, engaging children in exploratory, hands-on activities to build cognitive and psychomotor skills, and helping them see relationships between natural, social and cultural environments.

Developing precise quantitative skills is the task of mathematics, not an objective of primary EVS, which is why it is the odd one out.
