Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma attended the Meghalaya Programme for Adolescent Wellbeing, Empowerment and Resilience (MPOWER) Education Action Conclave 2025.

According to Sangma when the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance government assumed office in 2018, it recognised that the education sector in Meghalaya required deep and sustained transformation.

The Chief Minister pointed out that one of the key challenges has been addressing issues related to Adhoc and SSA teachers, as well as the large number of schools spread across the state.

"We have now initiated a process to streamline the system by creating a standardized payment structure and exploring a synergistic approach to rationalize schools in areas with low student enrolment," he said.

Sangma stated that this will help the state make better use of it's resources while ensuring that quality education reaches every child.

"Education reform is a long-term effort and the results may take years to fully materialize, but we are committed to laying a strong foundation today for the benefit of our teachers and children tomorrow" the Chief Minister added.

Sangma also said that the vision and purpose of MPOWER must align with the government's broader goals to transform Meghalaya’s education landscape.

The Chief Minister urged all officials, educators, and stakeholders present to work hand in hand with the Government in shaping a brighter, more empowered future for the state.
