The Supreme Court on Thursday voiced concern over the introduction of a third language in Class 9 under the CBSE curriculum, observing that the move could increase stress levels among students and suggesting that any new language should be introduced at an earlier stage, PTI reported.
A bench of Justices BV Nagarathna and R Mahadevan orally asked the Centre not to introduce a third language at the Class 9 level, saying students at that stage already face academic pressure.
