In a significant education policy decision, Maharashtra's government will implement the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) curriculum beginning in the 2025-26 academic year. The effort aims to strengthen state education to meet national standards.

Official Announcement and Approval

Citing the legislation, State Education Minister Dada Bhuse told the legislative council that the steering committee of the School Education Department has given its approval to adopt the CBSE curriculum framework for classes 3 to 12. This move demonstrates the government's dedication to enhancing education across the state.

Curriculum Transition and Language Accessibility

The existing scheme will have textbooks in Marathi, so that language does not become a hurdle for students resettling to the new scheme. This method highlights the commitment of the government towards open access to education.

Academic Calendar Alignment

Along with the curriculum changes, the academic year will start from April 1, same as the CBSE schedule. This synchronization would facilitate the administrative work while allowing uniformity in the academic calendar.

Government's Vision for Educational Excellence

Maharashtra will have to return to being a leader in the education field, and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has been stressing on the CBSE pattern with the required modifications that fit the state. The government is dedicated to adopting policies, laws and to ensure quality education and improving student achievement.
