The government of Bengal has formulated its own educational policy, outlining the extent to which the state has agreed or accepted the 2020 National Education Policy (NEP) developed by the central government.
The preliminary document also comprehensively outlines the aspects of the NEP that the state government has declined to adopt, taking into account the guidance provided by the empowered committee.
The preliminary version of the state's education policy includes the NEP's stance on specific matters, the corresponding stance presented in the draft, and the insights offered by the departments of school education and higher education regarding the subject matter.
