No Central Advisory Board of Education meet in past 1 year

New Delhi: Despite loud promises of major educational reform and change in educational policy, the  Centre has not been able to convene even one meeting of Central Advisory Board of Education (the highest advisory body on education in the country) after coming to power last year.

The committee is still filled with UPA era appointees and till their replacements, the NDA government is not willing to convene are brought in. Activist Teesta Setalvad and Sanskrit scholar Satyavrat Shastri are among the members likely to be dropped. The Board is likely to be reconstituted.
