The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a revised language policy effective from July 1, 2026, requiring students in Classes 9 and 10 to study three languages. Crucially, at least two of these must be native Indian languages. This major shift, aligned with India’s National Education Policy (NEP), will impact thousands of students in CBSE-affiliated schools across the UAE, Qatar, Oman, and the wider GCC, prompting schools to immediately begin restructuring their curriculums.
