CBSE Class 9 Three-Language Policy: A new language policy introduced by the Central Board of Secondary Education for Class 9 students has now reached the Supreme Court of India, after a public interest litigation (PIL) was filed challenging the move.

According to ANI, the plea was mentioned before the apex court on Thursday by Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi, who urged the court to hear the matter at the earliest, saying the policy could create confusion among students and schools.

The PIL has reportedly been filed by a group of students, parents and teachers who have objected to the new language framework introduced by CBSE earlier this month.

During the mentioning, Rohatgi told the court, “Suddenly, in the 9th standard, two languages have been made compulsory. Very different from what is happening. This will create chaos.”
