The teacher has the freedom to employ logical and variegatedlearning strategies during the transaction process. It gives importanceto ensuring the learning outcomes to all learners. Based on theselearning outcomes continuous and comprehensive evaluation isrecommended. The curriculum also lays emphasis on the code ofprofessional ethics for teachers.

With regard to learning process the following points are givenimportance.1. The learners relate their previous knowledge to the knowledge

they newly construct.2. Knowledge construction has to be at the individual and

community levels.3. The differential needs of the learners are to be addressed by

selecting and adapting learning activities.4. Learning and assessment are complimentary to each other.5. Learning process should aim at the all round development of the
