Persian, a language shaped by influences from Arabic, Urdu, and other regional tongues, holds official status in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. It belongs to the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family and is widely spoken across Persian-speaking regions and by many Muslim communities around the world.
The CBSE Class 10 Persian curriculum aims to strengthen students’ proficiency in the language while nurturing an appreciation for its literary and cultural heritage. The syllabus focuses on developing core language skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—supported by structured lessons in grammar, vocabulary, and sentence formation. Students are introduced to diverse literary forms, including classical poetry, modern prose, short stories, and drama, helping them understand themes, stylistic features, and character portrayals in both traditional and contemporary Persian literature.
Cultural components of the curriculum expose learners to Persian customs, festivals, historical influences, and artistic traditions. Through projects, activities, and interactive exercises, students gain a well-rounded understanding of the language and its cultural depth. This holistic approach helps strengthen their connection to Persian heritage and prepares them for advanced study as well as effective communication in the language.
At the Class 12 level, the Persian curriculum expands further with detailed lessons in prose, poetry, grammar, and phonetics, enabling students to refine their analytical and linguistic abilities. For effective exam preparation, students are encouraged to practise previous years’ question papers provided on platforms like Careerindia, ensuring familiarity with the exam pattern and improving overall performance.
