Use Indian languages to teach: CBSE to schools

Live Mint  

The Central Board of Secondary Education has issued a directive to its affiliated schools to consider the use of Indian languages as optional mediums of instruction to promote multilingual education. CBSE Director, Joseph Emmanuel, highlighted the importance of this initiative and suggested that Indian languages listed in Schedule 8 of the Indian Constitution could be used as mediums of instruction from the foundational stage up to the end of secondary education, in addition to the existing options. The CBSE's encouragement of Indian languages as mediums of instruction is expected to enhance the accessibility and inclusivity of education, fostering a deeper connection between students and their native languages. By embracing multilingual education, schools affiliated with CBSE can contribute significantly to this important endeavour, providing a strong base for future higher education pursuits.
