CBSE Pushes Three-Language Formula for Class 6; Schools Told to Start Within Seven Days

Asianet Newsable English — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 09:32:30 +0530

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Thursday dropped a major order on schools. It has directed them to compulsorily start teaching a third language (R3) for Class 6 students from the 2026-27 academic year. The real surprise? Schools have been told to start teaching within seven days, without even waiting for official textbooks.

This move comes even as there are ongoing discussions in Karnataka about a two-language formula for the state curriculum.

The board has said that schools should use locally available books and materials to get started immediately. "Many schools have already implemented R3. The remaining schools should also start teaching immediately," the order stated. The board also sent a warning, saying, "Our regional offices will be monitoring this."

Just last week, the CBSE had announced its plan to bring in the three-language formula from the 6th grade. The formula includes three languages – R1, R2, and R3. The rule is that at least two of these must be Indian languages. Now, it seems the board is in a hurry to put this plan into action.

CBSE Introduces 3-Language Policy for Classes 6 to 10: What Students and Parents Need to Know

Ishwi Singh — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 15:25:25 +0530

What is the CBSE New 3-Language Curriculum: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a major change in the country's school education system. It is introducing a new 3-language policy in the secondary level syllabus. This change is part of the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) and the National Curriculum Framework for School Education 2023 (NCFSE 2023), which aim to promote multilingual education. Under the new system, students will have to study three languages in different stages to strengthen their language skills and diversity. So, what exactly is this new 3-language framework and when will it be implemented for each class?

What is the new 3-language framework?

CBSE has divided the languages into three levels: R1, R2, and R3.

R1: A student can choose any language available under CBSE.
R2: The student must pick a second language that is different from R1.
R3: The student must pick a third language that is different from both R1 and R2.
The most important rule is that at least two of these three languages must be native Indian languages.

Also read: CBSE Curriculum: Major Changes for Class 9-10 From 2026! Here's What You Need to Know

When will the new 3-language rule apply class-wise?

Starting from the academic year 2026-27, the third language (R3) will become compulsory for Class 6. After that, it will be gradually introduced in higher classes. Here is the class-wise breakdown:

Academic Session	R3 Compulsory For Which Class
2026-27	Class 6
2027-28	Class 6 and 7
2028-29	Class 6, 7, and 8
2029-30	Class 6, 7, 8, and 9
2030-31	Class 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10

This step aims to ensure that every student learns at least two Indian languages.

What are the changes for Class 9 and 10?

Under the new policy, students in Class 9 and 10 will have to study three languages. R1 and R2 will be two different languages.
The same language cannot be taught at two different levels. This means a student cannot choose the same language for both R1 and R2.

Same book, different syllabus and exam pattern

CBSE has also clarified that for now, a single textbook will be used for both R1 and R2. However, the syllabus and exam patterns for each level will be different. This arrangement will continue until the NCERT develops separate textbooks for different levels.

A must-pass condition for the 10th board exams

CBSE has made it very clear that every student must study three languages up to Class 8. If a student fails to pass the third language, they will not be eligible to appear for the Class 10 board examinations. This rule is particularly important for students who are currently in Class 7 or higher.

When will the system be fully in place?

This new language policy will be considered fully implemented by the 2029-30 session, which is when R3 will also be included in Class 9. Until then, the system will be rolled out in a phased manner.

What about regional languages?

CBSE has also stated that until NCERT textbooks are available, state board books for regional languages will continue to be used in Classes 9 and 10. This new policy from CBSE is not just a change in syllabus but a major educational reform. The board's focus is on making students multilingual, promoting Indian languages, and implementing the vision of the New Education Policy.

Indian-Origin NHS Worker in UK Dismissed Over English Proficiency

Divya Danu — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 19:04:06 +0530

An Indian-origin woman working as a Speech and Language Therapist in the United Kingdom has been dismissed after concerns were raised about her ability to understand and communicate in English. Sai Keerthana Sriperambuduru joined the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in October 2023. She worked as a Band 5 paediatric speech and language therapist. However, within weeks of starting her role, colleagues noticed that she was struggling to understand both patients and staff.

Questions raised soon after joining

According to reports, Sriperambuduru had stated in her job application that English was her first language. Because of this, she was not required to provide proof of language proficiency. But problems became clear early on. Co-workers found it difficult to communicate with her, and there were concerns about her ability to carry out her duties safely. As a speech and language therapist, clear communication is a key part of the job, especially when working with children and families.

Review meetings reveal issues

The hospital held a review meeting on November 7, 2023. During this meeting, Sriperambuduru admitted that Telugu, not English, was her first language. In another review meeting held in December, she said she had started taking English lessons outside work. She also shared that she found it hard to understand fast speech, especially from children and parents. She faced difficulties with pronunciation, sentence structure, grammar, and writing down conversations.

Unusual request during hiring process

Her line manager told the panel that during the hiring process, Sriperambuduru had asked for a chat-box option for the interview. This meant that questions would be typed instead of asked face-to-face. The manager described this as unusual, especially since she was already living in the UK at the time. The panel later saw this request as a possible attempt to hide her language difficulties.

Dismissal after probation period

After completing eight months of probation, Sriperambuduru was dismissed in June 2024. The Trust said it could not continue to provide the level of support she needed without affecting patient care and the wider team. A spokesperson confirmed that her employment lasted from October 2023 to June 2024. Reports of her dismissal came to light only recently.

Tribunal and panel findings

Sriperambuduru challenged the decision and took the case to the Health and Care Professions Tribunal Service (HCPTS). She argued that her education was in English, and she believed it could be considered her first language. In her written submission, she said she did not realise that the UK definition required English to be the main language used in daily life. She also admitted later that she had not taken the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam before coming to the UK. However, the panel rejected her arguments. It ruled that she had tried to mislead the Trust about her language ability to secure the job. As a result, she was removed from the professional register.

Clear rules on language requirements

The application form clearly asks candidates whether English is their first language. It also explains that this means the main language used in everyday life. The form states that studying in English or completing education in English does not automatically make it a person’s first language.

This case has raised questions about language checks in sensitive roles like healthcare. Experts say strong communication skills are essential, especially when dealing with patients. The incident also shows how important it is to provide correct information during job applications.

UPTET Teacher Salary: How Much Do UP Govt Teachers Earn? Full Details Inside

Asianet Newsable English — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 09:27:59 +0530

UPTET-qualified teachers in Uttar Pradesh earn ₹37,000-₹45,000 monthly after training, with added allowances. Salaries vary by level, while trainees receive about ₹7,300 before full pay begins.

If you're dreaming of becoming a government teacher in Uttar Pradesh, you must be wondering about the salary. After you clear the UPTET exam and become a primary (Classes 1-5) or upper primary (Classes 6-8) teacher, the 7th Pay Commission decides your salary. Right from the start, you can expect an in-hand salary of around ₹37,000 to ₹45,000.

A UPTET teacher's salary differs based on the class level they teach. Primary teachers (Classes 1-5) get a basic pay from ₹9,300 to ₹35,400. Upper primary teachers (Classes 6-8) receive a basic pay from ₹9,300 to ₹44,900. This means a higher class level gets you a higher salary. The grade pay is also different, which affects the total income.

A UPTET teacher's earnings are not just limited to the basic pay. The salary includes several allowances like HRA (House Rent Allowance), DA (Dearness Allowance), and other government benefits. After adding all these, the total salary reaches between ₹37,000 and ₹45,000. While there are some deductions like TDS and GIS, the final in-hand amount is still quite good.Many candidates don't know this, but you don't get the full salary right after joining. During the training period, you receive around ₹7,300 per month. Once your training is complete, your salary jumps to the full pay scale. That's when the real earning begins!

The current salary is based on the 7th Pay Commission. However, if the 8th Pay Commission is implemented in the future, salaries could see another significant increase. Apart from this, a UPTET teacher's income also grows with promotions, experience, and changes in government regulations.

Want to Work Abroad? Switzerland Ranked Best for Jobs, Pay, and Growth in 2026 Report

Ishwi Singh — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 13:54:57 +0530

For students and professionals dreaming of a career abroad, a new report can help guide their choice. Earlier, people picked countries based on how easy it was to get a visa. Now, the focus has changed, with job seekers aiming for higher income and long-term financial stability.

According to the 'Henley Opportunity Index 2026', which ranks countries on factors like high salaries, career growth, and better living conditions, Switzerland has bagged the top spot globally.

The Top-Ranking Countries

Here are the top 5 countries that lead in high salaries, top universities, and job opportunities:

Switzerland: It came in first with a score of 86 out of 100. Excellent opportunities in the banking and pharmaceutical sectors make Switzerland a top choice.

Singapore: As Asia's hub for investment and trade, Singapore secured the second position.

Australia: Great universities and a high standard of living helped Australia clinch the third spot.

USA and UK: Both countries share the fourth position. When it comes to salary alone, the US is the world leader with a perfect score of 100.

Canada: Canada's welcoming approach to international workers has placed it in the fifth position.

Other Key Countries

Here are the other nations that made it to the top 15 in the list:

Austria (6th), UAE (7th), New Zealand (8th), Hong Kong & Italy (tied at 9th), Latvia & Malta (tied at 10th), Portugal (11th), and Greece (12th). Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the UAE are especially great hubs for entrepreneurs and top talent.

How India Compares with Other Countries

The report gives India an overall 'Opportunity Score' of just 39, while the US scores 79. It points out that although India has economic growth, the US is miles ahead in terms of top universities, foreign investment, and job opportunities.

A Degree Isn't Enough, a Visa is Key

Experts say that just getting a degree from a top university like Harvard or Oxford is not the full picture. The investment in your education truly pays off only when you get permission to work and live in that country afterwards. For instance, children from Indian families who get a Green Card through the US investment visa find it much easier to get a job there right after finishing their studies.

How AI Tools Are Changing the Way Students Prepare for JEE Main 2026

Asianet Newsable English — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 13:39:55 +0530

JEE Main 2026 students can use AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini to analyse strengths, solve doubts, and personalise practice. Combined with coaching and NCERT, AI boosts accuracy, speed, and exam readiness.

Students preparing for JEE Main 2026, one of India's toughest exams, now have a powerful new ally: technology. AI tools are now joining traditional coaching methods. This combination helps students pinpoint their exact strengths and weaknesses.

Earlier, students only saw their final scores in mock tests. But AI tools have changed that. They now analyse everything in detail—which subject a student is weak in, how much time they take per question, and more. This helps students focus their energy on difficult topics.

Students use AI chatbots like Google Gemini and ChatGPT to clear doubts, especially late at night or when teachers aren't around. These bots explain complex physics and math problems step-by-step. They even suggest alternative ways to solve them. Google has also launched special AI features just for education.

Leading coaching institutes like Aakash and Arihant are now using AI-based apps. Even in a class of 40, these apps can spot each student's learning gaps. This allows them to give personalised extra practice to every student, which helps improve both their accuracy and speed.

While technology is a big help, educators warn that AI tools aren't always 100% accurate. To understand the basic concepts, guidance from teachers and NCERT textbooks is still a must. Students should use AI as a support tool, not a complete replacement for teachers. With smart planning and the right use of AI, students can definitely crack the JEE Main exam.

NDA 2026 Preparation: Smart 7-Day Strategy to Maximise Your Score

Asianet Newsable English — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 10:16:03 +0530

NDA Exam 2026 is on April 12. Use a smart 7-day plan focusing on revision, practice, and mock tests. Strengthen concepts, target weak areas, and avoid new topics to maximise your score.

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) will conduct the NDA and NA (I) exam on April 12, 2026. This is the crucial period where a solid strategy can make all the difference. If you feel your preparation is lacking, don't panic. Just make sure you use the next 7 days in the smartest way possible.

This is not the time to start new topics. The golden rule now is to strengthen what you've already studied. Revise constantly, solve questions, and test yourself with mock tests. These three things can get you a good score even in this short time.

The NDA paper is for a total of 900 marks—300 for Maths and 600 for GAT. But remember, you don't have to attempt every question. A smart candidate only attempts questions they are confident about. The cutoff is usually around 360-370, so keep your target clear.

Day 1-2: Fast-track full syllabus revision. In the first two days, quickly go over the entire syllabus. Refresh your memory of Maths formulas, English grammar rules, and basic GAT concepts. This is also the time to identify your weak topics.

Day 3-4: Practice + Previous Year's Questions. Now, don't just read; start practicing by writing. Solve 50-60 Maths problems daily and work on old GAT papers. This will help you understand the paper pattern and question level.

Day 5: Full Mock Test and Analysis. Sit for a full-length paper under timed conditions. After that, the most important task is to analyse your mistakes. See where you wasted time and which questions you got wrong.

Day 6: Focus on weak areas. Now, work only on your weaknesses. Whether it's a chapter in Maths or a grammar rule in English, make sure you clear it up.

Day 7: Light revision + Mindset. Don't take too much pressure on the last day. Just do a light revision, look over formulas, and prepare yourself mentally. A good night's sleep will decide your performance.

Maths is your game-changer. Revise formulas daily and practice. But remember, don't waste time on very difficult questions. Attempt only the ones you know. English is a scoring section.

Learn new words daily, focus on grammar, and practice error detection. Doing a little bit every day makes a big difference. GAT is vast, so be smart. Focus on Science basics (9th-10th level), the Freedom Struggle in History, important Geography topics, and Current Affairs. Instead of reading everything, choose and read the important stuff.

Mock tests give you a real exam-like experience. Try to take at least 2-3 full tests in these 7 days. Analysing your performance after each test is the real game-changer.

Don't rush through the paper. Attempt the easy questions first and leave the difficult ones for later. Remember, there's negative marking for wrong answers. Cracking the NDA is tough, but it's definitely possible with the right strategy. If you study smartly in these 7 days, you can improve your score significantly.

Why Are Factory Workers Wearing Cameras? Viral Video Raises Big Automation, Job Loss Questions

Divya Danu — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 14:21:19 +0530

A viral video of factory workers wearing small cameras on their heads has taken social media by storm. The clip shows workers inside large garment factories, carefully stitching clothes and handling fabric while the cameras apparently record their actions. The unusual setup has left many people confused. Users online have been asking why such devices are being used during normal factory work.

This is the most dystopian video I have ever seen.Apparently this is a clip of Indian factory workers wearing head-mounted cameras to record hand movements in order to further develop and train artificial intelligence systems. pic.twitter.com/1GYkWS7Adc

What could the cameras be for?

As the video spread, many people began guessing the reason behind the cameras. A widely shared idea is that factories may be recording first-person, or 'egocentric', videos of workers.

This kind of footage could help train artificial intelligence systems. By watching how workers move their hands and handle fabric, machines and robots could learn these tasks through imitation. This method may also reduce the need for expensive motion-capture technology.

However, there is no official confirmation yet about the exact purpose of these recordings.

Concerns about jobs and automation

The viral videos have also triggered worries about jobs. Some people believe workers may be unknowingly helping to train systems that could replace them in the future.

— Arian (@Arian03509749) April 12, 2026

The debate reflects a larger global concern about how artificial intelligence could affect employment.

Questions over ethics and worker rights

Apart from job fears, the trend has raised serious ethical questions. Some users asked whether workers are fully aware of how the footage is being used.

There are also concerns about consent and fairness. Critics argue that workers may agree to such practices because they depend on their jobs and may not have much choice.

Some people have even called for government rules to ensure workers are protected and treated fairly.

Strong reactions flood social media

The videos have led to strong and emotional reactions online. Some users described the situation as workers “training their own replacements.”

Others questioned whether robots could ever do such detailed work better or cheaper than humans. A few people even doubted whether the videos were real at all.

There were also wider discussions about global labour practices and outsourcing, showing how the issue goes beyond just one set of videos.

A growing debate about the future

The videos have become more than just a social media trend. They have opened up a bigger conversation about technology, jobs, and ethics.

While artificial intelligence continues to grow, questions remain about how it should be used and who benefits from it.

For now, the purpose behind these head-mounted cameras may still be unclear, but the debate they have started is only getting bigger.

CBSE Curriculum: Major Changes for Class 9-10 From 2026! Here's What You Need to Know

Ishwi Singh — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 09:32:57 +0530

CBSE New Curriculum 2026-27: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has prepared a new curriculum for Classes 9 and 10, which will be implemented from the 2026–27 academic session. The board shared the details about this through a special webinar, broadcast from its headquarters in Dwarka, Delhi, and also available online. This is being seen as a huge step towards changing the entire approach to education, not just the syllabus.

Why is the CBSE syllabus being changed?

This new move by CBSE is part of the National Curriculum Framework 2023 (NCF-2023). Until now, the education system was largely based on rote learning and textbooks. But the new system aims to ensure that children learn for life, not just for exams. The board wants students to understand every subject, connect with it, and be able to use that knowledge in their daily lives. The syllabus has been redesigned with this thought, to make learning easier, more interesting, and more useful.

What's changing in the new CBSE syllabus for students?

With the new syllabus, the classroom atmosphere is set to change completely. Children will no longer be taught passively from books. Instead, they will get opportunities to learn in an active way. For example, teachers will use projects, activities, and practicals to explain concepts, allowing students to learn through direct experience. Along with this, students will also get the chance to pursue their interests. This means every student won't be forced down the same path; they will have the freedom to learn based on their own abilities and interests. The goal of this entire change is to ensure that a child's development is not limited to academics but also strengthens their thinking, communication, and creativity.

5 Big Changes in the CBSE New Curriculum 2026-27

The focus will now be on understanding concepts, not just memorising facts.
Projects, activities, and hands-on learning will be given more importance.
Students will have more flexibility to learn according to their interests.
The syllabus will aim for overall development, including skills and communication, not just academics.
Schools will have to completely change their teaching methods and classroom styles to match the new guidelines.

CBSE issues important instructions to schools

CBSE has asked schools to be fully prepared for this change. The board has directed all schools to download the new syllabus and immediately share it with teachers and students. Additionally, schools will have to modify their teaching styles. The old methods of teaching will no longer be enough; teachers will also need to adopt new techniques so that students can get the full benefit of this change. In simple terms, this is a fresh start for schools and teachers, not just for students.

— CBSE HQ (@cbseindia29) April 1, 2026

Schools to update parents through PTMs

Parents also have a very important role to play in this entire process. CBSE has asked schools to conduct special Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs) to explain the new syllabus to parents in detail. When parents understand that the method of teaching is changing, they can also guide their children accordingly at home. This will reduce unnecessary pressure on children and help them understand their studies better. This means education will now be a joint responsibility of both teachers and parents, requiring participation from both the school and the family.

CBSE gets strict on fees

Along with the syllabus, CBSE has also taken a strict stance on fees. There were complaints about some schools charging extra fees during the submission of the List of Candidates (LOC) for the Class 10 board exams. Keeping this in mind, the board has made it clear that schools can only collect the prescribed exam fee at the time of LOC submission. Adding any extra amount, like tuition fees or other charges, is against the rules. CBSE has warned that if any school is found doing this, strict action will be taken against it.

No classroom, just an open road

The video has caught attention because of the unusual setting. There are no proper classrooms, benches or desks. Instead, the roadside has been turned into a temporary exam hall.

Despite the noise and movement around them, the students appear focused on their papers. For many viewers, the scene is both surprising and concerning.

Mixed reactions on social media

The video has led to strong reactions online. Some users expressed concern over the lack of basic facilities. They pointed out that while the country talks about smart classrooms and digital learning, many students still study in such conditions.

One comment described it as a place 'where open air is the classroom'. Another said it shows that many parts of the country are still far behind when it comes to education infrastructure.

Background of past exam issues

The strict measures come after past irregularities in recruitment exams. The 2021 SI exam was cancelled due to a paper leak. Since then, authorities have increased security to stop cheating, especially through modern gadgets.

Officials said multiple layers of checking were put in place to maintain fairness in the exam.

Social media reactions divided

The incident quickly went viral and triggered strong reactions online.

Many users criticised the measures shown in the viral videos. They called them excessive, humiliating, and unfair, especially for women wearing traditional or religious items. Some questioned why such rules were not clearly explained before the exam.

Others pointed out that even after strict checks, paper leaks still happen. A few called the actions unnecessary and poorly planned.

However, some users supported the strictness. They said cheating methods have become advanced, and strong checks are needed. A few argued that candidates should follow the dress code strictly to avoid problems.

There were also sarcastic and humorous comments, showing frustration with the situation.

Debate over security and dignity

The controversy has raised an important question. How can authorities ensure fair exams without affecting the dignity of candidates? Experts say clear guidelines before the exam can help avoid confusion. Proper planning and better communication may reduce such incidents.

At the same time, strict action against cheating remains important to protect honest candidates.

Large number of candidates appeared

The recruitment drive saw a huge response. Around 7,70,049 candidates reportedly applied for 1,015 Sub-Inspector posts. The exam was held on April 5 and 6, 2026. It was conducted in two shifts each day.

A total of 1,174 exam centres were set up across 41 cities in 26 districts of Rajasthan.
