Meghalaya Cabinet Approves School Complex Framework to Ease Student Transitions
The Meghalaya Cabinet approved the Meghalaya School Education (School Complex) Rules, 2026, introducing a nodal school framework to ease students' transition from primary to higher secondary education. This system links lower and upper primary schools with nearby secondary and higher secondary schools to reduce repeated admission procedures and administrative hurdles. Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma highlighted the disparity in the number of schools at different levels and emphasized the initiative's goal to improve access to quality secondary education. The Cabinet also regularized 26 ad hoc employees in line with a Supreme Court ruling.
