3-language policy: CBSE grants one-time exemption to current Class 9 students

CBSE has made a notable exception for current Class 9 students, allowing them to skip the new three-language policy for this academic year. Starting July 1, all affiliated schools must enforce the requirement for students to learn three languages. This one-time exemption aims to give students a break after the disruptions caused by the pandemic, ensuring they're not overwhelmed while schools adapt to new norms. This move reflects the board's effort to balance academic rigor with student well-being during a challenging time.
