He said the concerns raised by parents were genuine and required immediate attention.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>He argued that introducing the policy in the middle of the academic session, without adequate teachers, textbooks or transition time, could create serious disruption for students. <!-- -->He compared the situation to the difficulties faced during the implementation of CBSE&#8217;s On-Screen Marking (OSM) system.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>&#8220;Having gone through the representation, I find the concerns raised to be genuine and deserving of immediate attention. The sudden enforcement of this policy mid-session &#8212; without adequate teachers, textbooks, or transition time is likely to create serious disruption,&#8221; Digvijay Singh said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>He also pointed out that CBSE&#8217;s governing body had approved a recommendation in December 2025 that schools should continue with the existing language scheme until NCERT released graded language textbooks. However, CBSE later issued a circular on May 15, 2026, directing schools to begin third-language instruction for Class IX students from July 1, 2026.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>According to the letter, NCERT has not yet released the required graded textbooks. <!-- -->Instead, CBSE has recommended the use of NCERT&#8217;s Class 6 language textbooks. Singh questioned how the earlier decision of the governing body had been reversed and said the move could affect the academic planning of thousands of schools.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>He further said the issue could be particularly challenging for students in southern and north-eastern states, where Hindi is not widely spoken and some local tribal languages may not be included in CBSE&#8217;s recognised language list.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>The letter also highlighted concerns over Sanskrit, which has become a preferred third-language option in many schools. However, he said there is a shortage of qualified Sanskrit teachers and suitable textbooks.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>The matter is currently before the court and that the verdict is expected on July 15, 2026. However, schools have been asked to begin implementing the third-language instruction from July 1.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/education\/news\/likely-to-create-serious-disruption-parliamentary-panel-chief-urges-pm-modi-to-put-cbse-three-language-policy-on-hold\/articleshow\/131562034.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI: The chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education, Women, Children, Youth and Sports has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to put the CBSE&#8217;s three-language policy for Class IX students on hold.In his letter, he forwarded a representation from a group of parents who opposed the mandatory implementation of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17923,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[264],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-education"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17922"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17922\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17923"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
