'Stressful for students': SC tells Centre not to introduce 3rd language in Class 9

The Supreme Court expressed concern over the additional academic burden on students in Class 9, urging the Centre against introducing a third language at that level. Justice BV Nagarathna highlighted that students already face considerable stress in their current curriculum and suggested introducing a third language earlier, in Class 6. This decision underscores the court's focus on balancing educational demands with student welfare, aiming to prevent undue pressure on young learners.
