In Mangaluru, Karnataka, India, recent changes to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) curriculum have caused concern among parents in Dakshina Kannada, with many contemplating a transfer to the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) schools. The revised curriculum includes a new three-language policy that classifies English as a foreign language and limits students to one foreign language, raising questions about language flexibility. Additionally, the introduction of advanced and basic streams in mathematics and science has made the curriculum seem more demanding. School administrators report an increase in inquiries from parents seeking clarification on these changes, indicating a potential shift in enrollment trends. While immediate transfers may not happen due to midterm admission challenges, the impact could be significant in the next academic year if parents remain unconvinced about the new CBSE framework.
