It will be released alongside a felicitation ceremony for government school students who have secured admission to premier higher education institutions across the country.

The state government, which has consistently opposed the National Education Policy (NEP), had constituted a committee headed by retired Justice D Murugesan in April 2022 to draft SEP within a year. However, the deadline was later extended and the final policy was submitted to the government in July 2024.

School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi had earlier said that the SEP would be unveiled in two parts - one covering school education and the other higher education. However, the policy submitted to the government covers Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD), school education, and higher education.
