Maharashtra to Introduce CBSE Curriculum in State-Run Schools Starting 2025

The phased rollout will begin with Class 1 in the 2025-26 academic year, but concerns over preparedness and regional language education remain unresolved.

  • The Maharashtra government plans to implement the CBSE curriculum in state-run schools, starting with Class 1 in the 2025-26 academic year and expanding to all grades by 2028.
  • This transition aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP) and aims to improve educational quality while adapting CBSE standards to local needs, including textbooks in Marathi.
  • The academic calendar for state-run schools will be aligned with the CBSE schedule, with the academic year beginning on April 1, though logistical challenges persist.
  • Parents and educators have raised concerns about the lack of clarity, preparedness, and potential negative impacts on Marathi language education and rural schools.
  • A formal Government Resolution (GR) has yet to be issued, and discussions are ongoing to address stakeholder concerns and finalize implementation plans.
