CBSE allows classes 7-9 to retain two foreign languages till class 10

Students currently in Classes 7, 8 and 9 who have opted for two foreign languages under CBSE's three-language policy will be allowed to continue with the same language combination until Class 10, sources told ANI.

According to the sources, the requirement to study at least two Indian languages under the revised policy will apply only to students entering Class 6 in the future and will not be



enforced retrospectively for those already studying in Classes 7, 8 and 9.

It comes after schools and parents raised concerns over the board's recent communication asking affiliated schools to implement the three-language policy from July.

Many feared that students who had been studying two foreign languages for years would suddenly have to drop one in favour of an Indian language.
