The new education policy of West Bengal to focus on three language policy

To avoid centralisation of education in West Bengal, the state has come with an education policy of its own. This education policy will stress on the importance of learning at least three languages during classes 5th to 8th. Students will be encouraged to learn their mother language, which is the language of the state. Other than this they can choose one language from international languages like German, French or Spanish.

Also, the state will follow the 5+4+2+2 criteria for schooling. At the higher secondary level, new patterns of education will be introduced to make the transition from school to college a lot easier for students.
