The New Complex System (School/Cluster Complex System) is an educational administrative reform program whereby 15 to 20 primary and middle schools are integrated under the leadership of a single principal or Cluster Head.

On Sunday hundreds of primary teachers, under the banner of Primary Teachers' Association, assembled on the Chaura Maidan here to protest against the New Complex System and demanded that the government revoke its notification in this regard issued on 23rd September 2025 immediately.
