Which National Curriculum Framework (NCF) recommended Environmental Studies to be taught as an integrated curricular area at the primary level?
Answer: D
The key gives NCF-1975.
The 1975 framework, The Curriculum for the Ten-Year School, proposed that at the primary stage science and social science be taught as one subject called Environmental Studies. NCERT's position paper on the teaching of science records this, and says the 1988 framework kept the same arrangement, so 1975 is the first of the four frameworks listed to recommend it.
NCF-1988 continued what the 1975 framework had begun, and NCF-2000 and NCF-2005 came later still, so none of them can be the first to recommend it. Note that in 1975 separate science and social studies books were still used for Classes III to V; the key reads 'integrated area' as the single subject Environmental Studies.
