Digvijaya Singh Urges PM Modi to Suspend Mid-Session CBSE Three-Language Policy Rollout
Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging a halt to the mid-session mandatory implementation of CBSE's three-language policy for Class IX students. Singh, chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education, cited concerns over inadequate teachers, textbooks, and transition time, warning of disruptions similar to those during CBSE's On-Screen Marking rollout. He noted that CBSE's governing body had earlier recommended continuing the existing language scheme until graded NCERT textbooks are released, a decision seemingly overridden by a recent CBSE circular.
