Central Board of Secondary Education
Introduction of Chinese language in classes VI from the academic session 2011-12
In order to cater to the diverse needs of students in a globalised world, CBSE offers 32 languages at the secondary and senior secondary level out of which 12 are foreign languages. In view of China emerging as one of the major global economies and Mandarin being spoken by a large population of the world, the Board is set to launch Chinese in class VI from April 2011.
