  • A.Curriculum should be learner-centered
  • B.Curriculum should be flexible
  • C.Curriculum should be based on textbooks
  • D.Curriculum should be changed from time to time.

Answer: C

The undesirable feature is Curriculum should be based on textbooks.

Modern curriculum theory holds that the curriculum should come first and textbooks should serve it. A curriculum tied to the textbook narrows learning to what one book contains, encourages rote memorisation and ignores the learner's experience and the environment. The National Curriculum Framework 2005 specifically warned against textbook-centred teaching.

The other features are desirable. A curriculum should be learner-centred, built around the needs and interests of learners; it should be flexible, so that it can be adapted to different schools and pupils; and it should be revised from time to time to keep pace with changes in knowledge and society.
