Summary of NCF - 2005
• Social science content needs to focus on conceptual understanding rather than lining up facts to be memorized for examination, and should equip children with the ability to think independently and reflect critically on social issues.
• Interdisciplinary approaches, promoting key national concerns such as gender, justice, human rights, and sensitivity to marginalized groups and minorities.
• Civics should be recast as political science, and the significance of history as a shaping influence on the children's conception of the past and civic identity should be recognized.
