Extend same third-language policy relief to Class 6 students: SC directs CBSE

The Supreme Court has directed the CBSE to extend the same exemption from the three-language policy to Class 6 students as is already granted to students in Classes 7, 8, and 9. The Central Government had maintained that it was not in favor of granting an exemption to Class 6, noting that approximately 99% of CBSE schools are prepared to implement the policy. However, despite this, the Supreme Court directed that an exemption be granted to Class 6 students as well.
