New Delhi: West Bengal and Tamil Nadu governments are yet to share any information with the Centre on the status of implementation of the National Education Policy in the two states, 2020, according to a written response from the Ministry of Education in the Lok Sabha on Monday. “The States of West Bengal and Tamil Nadu are yet to inform the status of implementation of NEP 2020. The remaining states and Union Territories have initiated actions on NEP implementation,” according to the answer to a question raised by MP Dibyendu Adhikari (elected on a TMC ticket but apparently aligned with the BJP now).

The Tamil Nadu government led by the DMK has already announced that it will not implement the NEP. Instead, it has set up a committee to draw up a state education policy. West Bengal, governed by the Trinamool Congress, has also set up a panel to “examine” NEP 2020.

These two states are also among the four that have not sent inputs on the ongoing exercise to revise the school curriculum or the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) to the Centre. The other two states are Kerala and Telangana, the Centre had told the Lok Sabha on July 25.
