The West Bengal government had set up the committee in April 2022 having distinguished academics - Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Sugata Bose, Suranjan Das - to guide the state about its response to the National Education Policy.
The West Bengal Education Department has notified the new State Education Policy (SEP) which retains the existing pattern of school education.
The Education Department issued the notification on September 9 which mooted the continuation of the state's 5+4+2+2 school structure.
"Whereas, the state government has been considering the need of revamping its existing education system starting from pre-primary to higher education level in the state of West Bengal to ensure a higher standard of education to all students, with particular focus on marginalised, disadvantaged and under-represented groups," the notice said.
