<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nNEW DELHI: The Supreme Court<\/a> on Wednesday agreed to examine the validity of the CBSE<\/a>‘s three-language formula for Class IX students, who now have to choose two native languages.A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi sought a comprehensive response from Centre, CBSE and NCERT. The court, however, brushed aside pleas for stay of the policy.The Central Board of Secondary Education’s recent mandate requiring a third language at the secondary level has triggered concern among parents, students, and school administrators, particularly over its mid-session implementation and the impact on those who have been studying a foreign language as their second language.The revised policy states that students must study three languages at the secondary level, with at least two being Indian languages, including options such as Hindi and Sanskrit. The move is part of the CBSE’s alignment of its scheme of studies with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) 2023. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
