• The curriculum refers to the lessons and academic content to be taught to a learner
in the school. In empirical terms, it may be regarded as the sum total of a planned set

of educational experiences provided to a learner by a school. It encompasses general
objectives of learning, courses of study, subject-wise instructional objectives and

content, pedagogical practices and assessment guidelines.

KNOW THIS

CBSE envisions the all-round development of students in consonance with a holistic
approach to education and therefore, emphasizes integration of co-curricular and

extra-curricular domains with curricular activities in an equitable manner.
