Central Board of Secondary Education is set to roll out the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 recommendations on the three-language formula from the 2026-27 academic session, as per leading media reports.
Under the proposed structure, students in Class 6 will study three languages. At least two of these must be Indian languages. English will be treated as a “foreign” language under this framework.
Official sources said English will be considered a “foreign” language. The NEP states that at least two of the three languages should be “native to India”.
For schools that teach English in Class 6, it will become the one “foreign” language that can be taught, in addition to two Indian languages, a source said.
If another foreign language is taught as the third language in Class 6, like French or German, it will have to be accompanied by two Indian languages, the source said.
