On SC&#8217;s request, it reconsidered and agreed to enforce it from Class VI onwards from this year while students in Class VII to X were to be governed by the old policy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>SC had asked CBSE to reconsider exempting students of Class VI this year.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>A bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana is dealing with a bunch of petitions challenging the threelanguage policy, including highlighting the inadequacy of textbooks, indigenous subject teachers and infrastructure.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>When additional solicitor general Aishwarya Bhati told the bench that CBSE is disinclined to exempt Class VI this year and argued, \u201cLet the Class VI students start this year as they would have three more years before appearing in Class X board examination,\u201d the bench said, \u201cIt is your cohort who decided that it must be enforced from Class VI without considering the comfort of the Class VI students upon whom you sprung a surprise.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>\u201cWhen the notification for enforcing the policy came, the student was already in Class VI. Go back and reconsider. Anyway, the academic year will come to an end in a few months. You enforce it for Class VI students from the 2027-28 academic year,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Bhati agreed to take back the decision for reconsideration. The bench said exempting Class VI students from the policy this year would be without prejudice to CBSE\u2019s right to defend the policy. <!-- -->\u201cThe exemption is purely from the aspect of logistics and balance of convenience,\u201d it said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>SC said, \u201cThere are more contentious issues on what can be considered an indigenous language (Petitioners say English should be considered as one while Centre objects to it) which we will decide later.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>It added, \u201cThere must be some degree of comfort for the students. Those who would be coming to Class VI next year would know in advance that they must choose languages as per the three-language policy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>You can also make it optional for Class VI students with adequate incentives so those who want to conform to the policy can choose to do so.\u201d SC posted the matter for further hearing on Wednesday.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/sc-raps-cbse-for-refusing-to-exempt-class-vi-from-3-language-policy-this-yr\/articleshow\/134322000.cms\"
