1.The curriculum covers the whole spectrum of teaching-learning activities in the educational institution.

2.The syllabus is not restricted to the examinable portions of the curriculum.

AOnly 1 ✓ Correct

BOnly 2

CBoth 1 and 2

DNone of the above

Correct answer: (A) Only 1

Explanation

Only the first statement is true: the curriculum covers the whole spectrum of teaching-learning activities in the institution.

The curriculum is the total planned experience, including aims, content, methods and co-curricular activities.

The syllabus is narrower, a subset that lists the content and topics to be examined in a subject.

So the second statement is wrong, because the syllabus is largely tied to the examinable content of the curriculum.

This makes the syllabus a part of the wider curriculum, not something unrestricted by it.

The distinction places curriculum as the whole and syllabus as its content outline for a course.
