Consider the following statements: (1) The curriculum covers the whole spectrum of teaching-learning activities in the school. (2) The syllabus is not restricted to the examinable portions of the curriculum. Which of the above is or are true?
- The curriculum covers the whole spectrum of teaching-learning activities in the school.
- The syllabus is not restricted to the examinable portions of the curriculum.
AOnly 1 ✓ Correct
BOnly 2
CBoth 1 and 2
DNeither 1 nor 2
Correct answer: (A) Only 1 — Only statement 1 is true, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Only statement 1 is true, so that is the answer.
★The curriculum truly covers the whole spectrum of teaching-learning activities in the school, so statement 1 is correct.
★It is the total of all planned and unplanned experiences a school offers, far wider than any course outline.
★The syllabus, by contrast, is the prescribed and examinable portion of a course, a subset of the curriculum.
★So saying the syllabus is not restricted to the examinable portions misstates it, making statement 2 false.
★Hence only the first statement about the curriculum stands as true.
