The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is reported to have proposed significant changes to the academic framework for secondary and higher secondary education

It includes a shift from studying two languages to three in Class 10, with the requirement that at least two must be native Indian languages
Similarly, for Class 12, the proposed changes involve students studying two languages instead of one
- With the condition that at least one must be a native Indian language.
Overall, they would have to clear examinations in six subjects instead of five to graduate from high school.

Based on the inter-ministerial committee report, the Union Ministry of Education (MoE) unveiled the draft NCrF in 2022.
The NCrF is a set of guidelines to be followed by schools, colleges and universities in adopting the credit system.
It also brings the entire school education system under the ambit of credits for the first time.
So far, only the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) followed a credit system. The NCrF also covers skill and vocational education.
The document lists theoretical, applied sciences or vocational and skill disciplines that can count towards credits earned during school education.
