 Critique of NCF 2005
1. It is argued that the document is not sufficiently
announced which has led to its incomplete implementations.
2. Implementing the suggested curriculum would require a
huge infrastructure.
3. It does not talk about the dangers of community
participation and how to ensure the quality of education in
such an environment.
4. It is unrealistic in projecting constructivism as the
universal pedagogy for all subjects and for children of all
ages.
