State Act

The West Bengal Secondary Education Act, 1950

This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education Act, 1963 (5 of 1963), s.46; it may still apply to matters that began before then.

23. (1) The Committee for Secondary Education of the Educationally Backward Classes shall consist of the following members— (a) six persons who may or may not be members of the Board but who shall be members of the Educationally Backward Classes and of whom at least one shall belong to the tribal people, elected by the Board in the manner prescribed by regulations; (b) three members of the Educationally Backward Classes appointed by the State Government; (c) two officers of the Education Department, appointed by the State Government, of whom one shall be an officer of the Education Directorate dealing with education of the Educationally Backward Classes. (2) The Board shall appoint a member of the Committee to be its Chairman. (3) It shall be the duty of the Committee to advise the Board and the Executive Council on all matters relating to the education of members of the Educationally Backward Classes including the tribal people. (4) The State Government shall from time to time decide which classes of people shall for the purpose of this Act be regarded as members of the Educationally Backward Classes or as belonging to the tribal people, and such decision shall be conclusive and shall not be open to any objection.
