In the perspective of the National Curriculum Framework (NCF 2005) and the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act (RTE Act 2009), which of the following statements is most analytical and legally correct regarding 'Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation' (CCE) and the Prohibition of Corporal Punishment in schools?

According to Section 29(2)(h) of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act (RTE Act 2009), it is mandatory to implement the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) system until the completion of elementary education. Furthermore, Section 17 prohibits subjecting any child to physical punishment or mental harassment.

• RTE Act 2009 (Section 17): Absolute ban on corporal punishment and mental harassment.
• RTE Act 2009 (Section 29): Statutory mandate for CCE.
• NCF 2005: Advocates for a fear-free, joyful, and child-centric learning environment, fully aligning with these legal provisions.
