“Presently, the government is in process of formulating a New Education Policy (NEP) and its finalisation is likely to take some time,” the minister said.

The HRD ministry is about to announce a committee to draft the NEP after it decided to junk a similar report from the TSR Subramanian committee.

The previous committee had submitted its report to the government in May 2016 suggesting measures that the country must take to improve the sector that caters to over 300 billion students.

The panel had also suggested that the no detention policy be continued for children till the completion of Class V and a child turns 11 and the system of detention must be restored at the upper primary level.
