The Meghalaya Board of Primary School Education Act, 1988
This Act establishes the Meghalaya Board of Primary School Education to supervise, regulate, and improve primary education across the state of Meghalaya. It directly applies to all primary and junior basic schools, their administrators, teachers, and students. By granting the Board the legal authority to prescribe curricula, conduct standardized examinations, approve textbooks, and set teacher qualifications, this legislation ensures uniform academic standards throughout the state. This legislation matters because it centralizes the governance of early education in Meghalaya, guarantees the use of mother tongue instruction in classroom learning, and creates a structured system to fund, monitor, and recognize these institutions.
