CBSE has told the Supreme Court that 47.3% of its affiliated schools already offer two or more Indian languages to Class 9 students. The Board said most schools have language teachers and defended the three-language policy challenged by the petitioners.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has informed the Supreme Court that 47.3% of its 28,848 affiliated schools already offer two or more Indian languages to Class 9 students, making them compliant with the three-language policy without requiring additional teachers, The Indian Express reported.
According to the report, CBSE submitted the figures in a counter affidavit, along with separate affidavits from the Ministry of Education and NCERT, in response to petitions challenging the Board's three-language policy. The matter is scheduled to be heard by the Supreme Court on July 14.
As per The Indian Express report, CBSE also stated that 99.19% of its affiliated schools have at least one Indian-language teacher. The Board said it has allowed flexible staffing arrangements as an interim measure to help schools build teaching capacity in different Indian languages.
