CBSE defends three-language policy in SC, says nearly half of affiliated schools meet norms

CBSE has defended its three-language policy before the Supreme Court, stating that 47.3% of its affiliated schools already offer two or more Indian languages in Class 9, while 99.19% have at least one Indian-language teacher. As the court hears challenges to the policy, CBSE and NCERT have maintained that implementation measures, textbooks and transition support are already in place.
