SHILLONG, NOV 26: The Meghalaya Cabinet has approved the establishment of the Meghalaya Teacher Training Academy as an autonomous society to enhance teacher education, capacity building, and professional development.

Addressing media persons after chairing the meeting on Wednesday, Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma said that the proposed society, to be set up under the Directorate of Education Research and Training (DERT), will focus on providing specialized training to teachers across various levels.

According to him, the autonomous society will ensure professionals oversee the training process, allowing for more effective and targeted capacity building.

Currently, multiple government agencies and funding bodies conduct teacher training programs, often with varying degrees of success.

The new academy is expected to streamline these efforts, providing a centralized platform for high-quality training and ensuring that funds are utilized efficiently.

“There are different funding agencies that have funds for training of teachers and they all do the trainings at their own capacity and their own level which sometimes does not yield the kind of results that we would want and hence one society would ensure that the focus is there at every agency or every programme that is there whether it is funding for teachers training, funds will be transferred to this society and training will be done at a professional level by this particular society,” Sangma stated.
