The document discusses the mandates that influence the formulation of curriculum policy. There are four main mandates: constitutional, socio-cultural, economic, and global concern. The constitutional mandates are drawn from articles in the Indian constitution related to education, such as the right to education. The socio-cultural mandates involve accepting diversity and change while preserving cultural heritage. The economic mandates require that educational institutions and resources be affordable. The global concern mandate is to prepare students for challenges from globalization by including computer education.
