Delhi Makes Vocational Education and Third Language Compulsory for Class IX Students
The Delhi government has revised Class IX education rules, making vocational education and a third language compulsory. Students will study six main subjects: two languages, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, and Vocational Education. The third language will be assessed at the school level, with students needing to qualify before appearing for Class X board exams. Optional advanced-level assessments in Mathematics and Science are available but do not affect promotion. Additional curricular areas like Art Education and Physical Education are also mandatory, with new modules on Computational Thinking and AI planned for future sessions.
