Tura, July 10: After the TMC in Garo Hills raised the issue on Sunday, Tura resident and social activist Cherian Momin has also expressed concern and disappointment regarding the recent ranking of Meghalaya at the bottom of the Ministry of Education’s Performance Grading Index adding, the ranking was a clear indication that the Conrad K Sangma-led MDA government has failed to deliver on their promise to prioritize education.

Momin said that it was simply unacceptable that students in Meghalaya are suffering due to the NPP-led MDA government’s inaction and lack of commitment towards improving the education sector.

“Education is the foundation of a prosperous and developed society, and when our government neglects this crucial aspect, it jeopardizes the future of our state. We, the citizens of Meghalaya, demand immediate and decisive action from the government to address the challenges facing the education sector,” he said.

Momin pointed out that merely acknowledging the issue is not enough and that concrete steps need to be taken to bring about real change. This, he said, includes increasing funding for education, as financial resources, supplies, and access to quality education as well as improved support for teacher training.

“Teachers play a crucial role in shaping the minds of our young generation, and by providing them with adequate training, resources, and support, we can enhance the overall quality of education in Meghalaya” Momin observed.

In addition, Momin said that promoting greater community involvement in education was essential and parents, local leaders, and community members should be actively engaged in educational institutions, helping to bridge the gap between the classroom and the real world.

Pointing out that the future of the state depends on the quality of education provided to the students, Momin urged the Conrad K Sangma-led MDA government to deliver on their promise of making education a top priority in Meghalaya.
