In Maharashtra, students will have to study Hindi along with Marathi and English from class 1. The implementation of the National Education Policy for the academic year 2025-26 has started in the state this year itself. Also, according to this policy, Hindi language has now been made compulsory in schools along with English from class 1. According to the new education policy, special importance has been given to language preservation.
Accordingly, now three languages - Marathi, English and Hindi - will be compulsory for students studying in classes 1 to 5. These changes will be implemented from the coming academic year. According to the new National Education Policy, the terms foundation level, preparatory level, pre-secondary level and secondary will be used instead of primary, secondary and higher secondary levels. Opinions are also being reflected on this.
