CBSE News: It is worth noting that at present English is used as the main teaching language in CBSE schools across the country, especially in primary classes.

So far, the picture that has been seen in most of the private schools of the country has been such that there is emphasis on speaking English in the classroom, taunting on speaking mother tongue and hesitation on speaking Hindi. But now this trend is going to change. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a major directive to the schools, in which all the affiliated schools have been asked to identify the mother tongue of their students and do it as soon as possible. Through this new guideline, CBSE has made it clear that the mother tongue should not be limited to the walls of the house, but it should also echo in the walls of the school. The board believes that the complete development of children is possible only when they get the opportunity to think and understand in the language in which their heart and mind are comfortable.

CBSE issued new guidelines regarding language!

It is worth noting that at present, English is used as the main teaching language in CBSE schools across the country, especially in primary classes. This is the reason why many young children have to face linguistic burden in the beginning itself. This new decision of CBSE will not only strengthen the roots of the children, but will also give respect and place to the linguistic diversity of the country in the education system.

According to the new guidelines of CBSE, the education of children from pre-primary to second class in schools will now be considered as the 'foundational stage'. This change has been brought under the recommendations of the National Education Policy 2020. The language through which the students will be taught in this stage should be their home language, mother tongue or any regional language that they already understand.

Instructions to schools to form NCF implementation committee soon

CBSE has named this language of study as 'R1' and has said that it should ideally be adopted as the mother tongue of the children. This means that in the early classes, education should be in a language that is connected to the child's heart and mind, which he can feel and in which he can express himself easily. In its circular, CBSE has asked all schools to form an 'NCF Implementation Committee' by the end of May. This committee will map the mother tongues and language resources of the students. At the same time, schools have also been asked to complete the language mapping exercise as soon as possible.
