Shillong, 13 August 2025: The Meghalaya State Education Commission today submitted its report to Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma. Also present at the occasion were Chief Secretary D. P. Wahlang, members of the State Education Commission, and officials from the Education Department.
The report offers key insights into Meghalaya’s evolving education landscape. Established under the Department of Education on 26 July 2023, the Commission was formed in response to priorities outlined in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. It examines crucial areas including school consolidation, higher education reforms, teacher training, student performance, and structural transformation in the education sector.
Drawing from extensive consultations with educators, professional bodies, and teacher associations, the report serves as a critical guide for stakeholders and policymakers working to shape the future of education in the State.
The Commission’s key roles include addressing teacher salary gaps, devising strategies to resolve recruitment delays, strengthening governance in schools and colleges, ensuring quality education at all levels, and implementing NEP principles. The report also features recommendations for school education, higher education, state universities, colleges, teacher education and training, and polytechnics.
Speaking at the event, Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma emphasised the significance of the Commission’s work for the State’s education sector.
“The State Education Commission is crucial for shaping the future of our State. We do not want this report to simply gather dust. The government will implement all feasible recommendations of the Commission and will constitute an Expert Committee, as recommended, to take its suggestions and proposals forward,” he said.
