The move has sparked protests as parents demand the freedom to choose the language of study for their children. Critics argue that the mandate places an unnecessary academic load on students, especially those following the CBSE curriculum. They also highlight the challenges faced by non-native Telugu speakers and families that frequently relocate. This decision has stirred a debate on the importance of preserving regional languages while ensuring flexibility and inclusivity in the education system.
