· India · Hindustan Times, NDTV
The Central Board of Secondary Education has dropped three planned curricular components for Class 9 students in the 2026-27 academic year, marking the sixth revision to its scheme of studies in seven months. In a circular signed by academics director Dr Praggya M Singh, the board announced that the Individuals in Society course and National Council of Educational Research and Training modules on computational thinking and artificial intelligence will not be part of Class 9 this year. Additionally, Environmental Education will be excluded when the same batch moves to Class 10 in 2027-28. The changes do not affect current Class 10 students. The board stated the exclusions align the curriculum introduction with the implementation schedule.
