CBSE Dating and relationship ?
Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) clears the air on a viral post that made rounds, referencing dating and relationships in a Class 9 textbook. CBSE clarified that the image suggesting they publish a textbook on dating and relationships is Photoshopped, as they do not print books. This clarification was made via their official X (Formally Twitter) handle.
The board stated, “Various media outlets are wrongly attributing that a book is being published and launched by CBSE which contains objectionable material on dating and relationships and due to which even rape cases will increase. This is baseless and incorrect.”
