Speaking at the concluding day of the 3-day Chintan Shivir cum Education Conclave – 2024 here today, Khandu directed elected representatives, deputy commissioners and deputy directors of school education (DDSEs) to review the status of all government-run schools in their respective jurisdictions and finalize a roadmap for reformation by September 15, 2024. By October 20, he said all finalized roadmaps should be positively submitted to the Education department by all district administrations.

“By November the state government will finalize a roadmap keeping in view of those submitted by the districts after consultations with all stakeholders. As 2025 begins we will roll out this roadmap and ensure it is fully implemented in the next five years,” Khandu announced.
“Regular government teachers receive the best of salaries compared to teachers in private and NGO-run schools. Despite it, it is quite incomprehensible how the quality of education is so bad in government schools,” he expressed surprise.
He stressed that this must change and emphasized that a time should come in the near future that children of politicians and government officials are studying in government schools.

Commending the education department headed by Minister Pasang Dorjee Sona and his Advisor Mutchu Mithi for the timely conclave, the Chief Minister expressed hope that the outcome would be incredibly valuable and provide insightful inputs to enhance Arunachal’s education system.
“Our goal is to elevate the standard of government schools to a level where every parent feels proud and eager to send their children to these institutions. We envision a future where government schools are the preferred choice for all, regardless of socio-economic background,” he added.
