The Supreme Court has raised concerns over the Centre’s three-language policy, particularly the treatment of English as a “native” language in the framework. The court is examining whether such classification is constitutionally sustainable. The issue comes amid concerns about the burden placed on students, especially those transitioning to the three-language requirement in higher classes. The Centre has assured the court that it will take prompt action regarding a proposed reprieve for Class 6 students. The proceedings highlight continuing debates over language education, constitutional principles and the implementation of the National Education Policy. (PC: The Hindu)
