The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has amended its three-language formula for students of Classes 7, 8, and 9. Under the revised policy, students are given flexibility and can opt to study only two languages instead of three.
Additionally, CBSE has introduced options allowing students to choose two foreign languages in their curriculum. This change aims to cater to diverse linguistic preferences and enhance language learning among students.
According to CBSE officials, the current batch of Class 10 students will not be required to follow this updated language policy. The board will continue with the existing language requirements for this group.
The revision addresses feedback from educators and parents seeking more adaptable language requirements. CBSE intends to provide students with more choices that align with their interests and future aspirations. This policy update reflects CBSE's efforts to modernize language education and accommodate the evolving linguistic landscape in schools.
