Digvijay Singh writes to PM Modi to roll back CBSE’s three-language policy

A prominent Indian politician has formally requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reverse the Central Board of Secondary Education's (CBSE) revised three-language policy. The call comes amid growing concerns from parents about the implementation of the educational directive.

Digvijay Singh, a leader from the opposition, has forwarded a petition signed by a group of parents directly to the Prime Minister's office. The representation highlights the parents' dissatisfaction with the sudden introduction of the policy during the ongoing academic year. They argue that the mid-session rollout disrupts students' established learning paths and creates unnecessary confusion.

The policy, which mandates the learning of three languages in schools, has been a subject of debate. Critics argue it places an undue burden on students and potentially disadvantages those who struggle with multiple linguistic requirements. Singh's intervention adds significant political weight to the parental opposition, demanding a rollback of the policy.
