Education19948 sections

This Act regulates the transfer of District Council Lower Primary Schools in Meghalaya from local council control to the state government. It applies to primary school teachers and administrators within the Khasi, Garo, and Jaintia Hills districts, excluding private and minority institutions. Under this law, the state government assumes responsibility for school assets, teacher salaries, and retirement benefits. It also establishes approved managing committees to directly run these schools. This legislation matters because it provides financial security to local teachers and creates a unified administrative framework to improve the overall management and stability of primary education in the entire region.
