The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced significant changes to its curriculum, making the third language compulsory for Class 10 board exams starting in 2031. This initiative aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which mandates that every student learn three languages by Class 10. Beginning in the 2026-27 academic year, Class 6 students will learn two Indian languages and one foreign language. However, there are concerns about students' ability to fulfill the requirement of learning two Indian languages, especially as English is often classified as a foreign language. Additionally, CBSE plans to make art education, vocational education, and physical education mandatory for classes 9 and 10, while computational thinking and artificial intelligence will be added as compulsory subjects by 2029. Changes in assessment for Class 9 will also allow students to choose between two levels of Math and Science, helping to identify their aptitude levels. CBSE aims to provide resources for the new curriculum online soon.
