Justice B V Nagarathna suggested introducing the third language from Class 6 instead, giving students time to adapt. This isn’t just about language; it’s about student well-being in a system already stretched thin. Meanwhile, the court also gave Tamil Nadu six weeks to decide on setting up Navodaya schools across the state, urging the state not to resist central schemes ‘just because they’re from the Centre.’ Education policy is hitting a nerve; and the SC is watching closely. If you’re a student or parent, this could change how your child’s academic journey unfolds.
