The Supreme Court assured teachers it would intervene if action is taken against them over the CBSE's three-language policy. It also directed the Board to respond to petitions challenging the policy's implementation.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday assured teachers that it would step in if any action is taken against them for not implementing the Central Board of Secondary Education's (CBSE) three-language policy for Class IX students, according to the Bar and Bench reports. While directing the Board to file its response to a petition challenging the policy's rollout.
Hearing the matter, a Bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice V Mohana was considering petitions that question the implementation of the CBSE's revised three-language policy, citing a shortage of textbooks, inadequate teaching staff and the sudden introduction of the new language requirement in the middle of the academic session.
Responding to concerns that teachers could face disciplinary action if they were unable to teach the newly introduced languages, Chief Justice Kant assured the petitioners that the court would protect them.
"Come to us, we will stay those dismissals," the CJI remarked during the hearing, as reported by Bar and Bench.
