Gender discrimination in curriculum exposes indications that female and male learners are not treated equally in various types of curricula.

• Education plays a powerful role in perpetuating gender biases if no planned intervention is made to negate this and turn it into a vehicle of positive reinforcement of equality between sexes.
• Academic curricula subtly promote gender discrimination by:
  • Gender-based discrimination refers to the actions taken on the basis of social norms and stereotypes that privilege men and undermine women and girls.
  • This creates barriers to girls’ education and independence, leads to unequal participation of women in social, political, and economic spheres, and gender-based violence.
  • Very little mention of achievements by females compared to achievements by males. 
  • Some curricular objectives show that the language used is gender biased. Indeed, it can happen that the language itself can communicate the status of being male or female, and the status of being assertive or submissive.
  • Gender-based discrimination in education is both a cause and a consequence of deep-rooted disparities in society. 

Thus, it is concluded that the very little mention of achievements by females compared to achievements by males does academic curricula subtly promote gender discrimination.

If you fold the paper in upward direction from dotted line, the upper line of the figure will be near to middle line. So it will make s triangle. Please take a transparent paper and draw a similar figure and fold it.

Initial area = L × B

New area = (100 + 20)% of L × (100 – 12.50)% of B = 1.05L × B

Hence, Option A is correct.

Sum of 100 numbers =100×210=21000
Sum of 120 numbers =120×200=24000
Sum of 20 numbers =24000−21000=3000
∴ Average of 20 new numbers =3000/20=150

Hence, Option D is correct.

Questions refer to a problem or difficulty that needs to be solved by thinking and recalling the concept. Effective teachers use productive questions to help students advance in their thinking and to construct their own understandings.

• There are different types of questions and the 'divergent question' is one of them. A divergent question does not inspire a brief or single-worded response.

Key Points

• Divergent questions are the open-ended type of questions that do not have a specific answer and that allow adequate freedom for children to respond to a situation.
• The teacher encourages the children to give multiple responses that help in developing argumentation skills in learners. The learners will try to contradict the solutions of others to prove their response as the right and appropriate one.
• Also, these types of questions help to promote dialogue and discussion among peers as the students communicate and discuss with each other while looking for multiple solutions to a problem.
• It requires an answer with a proper explanation. It can't be answered in yes or no and discourages one-word answers which test one's ability to think broadly on a certain topic which helps in developing their critical thinking strategies.
• The constant rote memorization, passive learning, copying facts discourage creative expression. So, the teacher asks divergent questions to encourage originality on the part of children and should ask them a variety of questions to bring flexibility in their answers.

Hence, it could be concluded that by asking divergent questions the teacher is trying to stimulate and develop critical thinking.

The key difference between strong acids and weak acids lies in their degree of dissociation in water. Strong acids dissociate completely or almost completely in water, resulting in a higher concentration of hydrogen ions. On the other hand, weak acids only partially dissociate, leading to a lower concentration of hydrogen ions compared to strong acids. This difference in dissociation behavior is what distinguishes strong acids from weak acids.

As atomic number increases along a period, ionization energy increases and in a group it decreases. For S and P, theoretically ionization energy of S should be greater than P but due to the stability of half filled electronic configuration, ionization energy of P is greater than S.
