More than 100 primary schools in West Bengal’s West Midnapore district used question papers that carried the West Bengal Board of Primary Education’s name without the board’s authorisation, prompting an inquiry by the District Primary School Council. The papers, for Class 2’s Second Periodic Evaluation 2026, were neither prepared nor sanctioned by the board, which does not print or distribute such materials. Critics allege that the papers were printed and distributed by an RSS-affiliated teachers’ organisation. The council has ordered schools to explain where they obtained the papers. The allegations of pressure on schools have not been confirmed by the inquiry.
