The Sikkim Model Schools Act, 2025, establishes the Sikkim Model School Board to govern and manage Model Schools across the state. The Act aims to transform education by promoting holistic development, critical thinking, and multidisciplinary learning, moving away from rote memorization. It grants these schools administrative, academic, and financial autonomy to innovate in teaching and resource management. The legislation defines the governance structure, including the Board of Management and the Executive Committee, and outlines procedures for financial oversight, audits, and the appointment of leadership. It creates a framework for a modern, autonomous public education system in Sikkim.
