Importance of Multilingualism in CBSE’s Updated Framework
CBSE’s updated curriculum emphasizes multilingual education, promoting regional languages alongside Hindi and English to enhance inclusivity, cognitive skills, and cultural understanding.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has emphasized the importance of multilingual education in its updated curriculum framework, aligning with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This approach recognizes India's rich linguistic diversity and aims to make education more inclusive and effective.
Key Highlights on Multilingualism in CBSE's Framework
- Inclusion of Multiple Languages: CBSE's scheme of studies for Class X allows students to choose two languages from a diverse list, including regional languages like Telugu, Tamil, and Urdu, alongside Hindi and English. This flexibility supports students in learning in languages they are comfortable with, enhancing comprehension and retention.
- Alignment with National Curriculum Framework: The curriculum is based on the National Curriculum Framework-2005, which seeks to provide opportunities for students to achieve excellence in learning.
- Promotion of Cultural Heritage and Cognitive Development: By integrating regional languages into the curriculum, CBSE not only preserves cultural heritage but also enhances cognitive abilities and academic performance among students.
