‘Stressful for students’: SC tells Centre not to introduce 3rd language in Class 9

“No that is very bad. 9th standard is stressful. Why do you introduce a new language in 9th? You introduce it in 6th. When we were there in our school we had both ICSE and SSLC. We were taught both syllabus. Only at the end of 9th standard we had to select,” Justice BV Nagarathna, who was hearing plea challenging Madras high court direction to establish Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas in each district, said according to Live Law.
