The Central Board of Sec ondary Education (CBSE) has rolled out its new curriculum, launching a phased implementation of the three-language formula from Class 6 and a two-level system of mathematics and science for Class 9 starting in the 2026-27 academic session, officials said on Friday. While the three-language formula mandated under the new National Educa tion Policy (NEP) will be implemented from 2026 for Class 6, introduction of the two-level system of mandatory standard and optional advanced courses in mathematics and science will be done for Class 9. “Languages are organ ised through a structured three-language framework across stages: R1, R2 and R3. As per recommen dations of new National Curriculum Framework (NCF), two of these three languages must be native to India. In continuation of the board’s phased implementation of mul tilingual education, a third language will be made mandatory from Class 6 with effect from the aca demic session 2026-27, ensuring that every learner studies at least two Indian languages,” a senior board official said.
