The National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2023, diverging from initial drafts, mandates teaching three languages, promoting multilingualism in Indian schools. Aligned with NEP 2020, it underscores learning regional languages (R1), another language (R2), and any third language (R3). NCF aims to instil cultural rootedness, cognitive skills, and global readiness. By age 15, students should achieve academic proficiency in all three languages. The move aims to foster cultural awareness, communication, and employability, aligning education with India's linguistic diversity.
New NCF Guidelines 2023: Two Indian languages required for grades 9-10, one for 11-12
