'Can Standard 6 be spared 3-language plan this year?' asks SC
The Supreme Court recently questioned whether Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) should delay the implementation of the three-language policy for Class 6 students. The bench, comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana, discussed the status of English, evaluating its indigenous or non-indigenous nature.
Justice Bagchi expressed reservations about using the term "native," as it carries a colonial connotation. The court also considered the possibility of providing a reprieve to students in Class 6, thus deferring the final test in two native languages until the following year.
