Karnataka establishes committee to provide recommendations on state education policy

The Department of Higher Education in Karnataka has set up a committee to review the State Education Policy Commission report and provide recommendations for its implementation.

The panel will be led by the principal secretary of the Higher Education department and includes the vice chairman of the Karnataka State Higher Education Council, the commissioner of the Collegiate and Technical Education department, and the director of Technical Education.

The special officer of the Higher Education department will serve as member-secretary.

The committee was constituted three months after the SEP commission, chaired by Prof Sukhadeo Thorat, submitted its final report to the Chief Minister.

The review panel is required to submit its findings within two weeks, after which the recommendations will be presented to the Cabinet for further action.
