Challenges and Reforms in Arunachal Pradesh's Education System and Language Policy

Arunachal Pradesh's education system faces challenges including policy misalignment, teacher shortages in rural areas, and ineffective implementation of reforms. Recent initiatives like the 2026 Teacher Transfer and Posting Bill raise hopes for improvement. However, concerns persist over recruitment practices, such as prioritizing Bhoti language teachers without mandatory eligibility tests, potentially sidelining other indigenous languages and affecting cultural representation. Stakeholders call for transparent, inclusive policies addressing foundational educational and linguistic diversity issues.
