The policy is a collaborative effort between the federal government and each state's government, involving academic, technological, training, and manufacturing divisions in open communication. The policy outlines the role of teacher education, the NEP Guidelines for Teaching Faculty in West Bengal, major problems and challenges of Primary Teacher Education in West Bengal, and the pedagogy and curriculum of schools.
