Supreme Court asks Centre to consider exempting Class 6 students from CBSE three-language policy this year
According to CBSE's June 29 statement, the current batches studying in Classes 7, 8 and 9 would not be required to give the board examination in third language when they progress to Class 10
The Supreme Court has directed the Centre and CBSE to consider extending the exemption from the three-language policy to Class 6 students. The court had previously granted this exemption to Class 7 students, and now seeks to apply it to the current Class 6 batch. The CBSE had stated that the current Class 7, 8, and 9 batches would not need to take board exams in the third language when they progress to Class 10.
The court asked the Solicitor General to grant the same relaxation to Class 6 students as was given to Class 7 students. The court also suggested that a committee of senior officials could assist schools facing difficulties in implementing the new policy.
