A number of steps already been initiated for impleraentation of the policy laid down in the White Papcir to make the system more functional and useful- The State Governmcnt’a decision to manage Primary Schools either alone or concurrently with District Councils ushered a new era and removed uncertainity prevail ing for about a decade. As the begining has to be made almost from a scratch, it has devolved higher responsibility and liability. The State Government has passed Meghalaya Board of Primary Education Act recently, to Regulate and Control Primary Education in the State. A policy of selective assistance has helped in cheeking the number of Primary Schools. There has been only 3 per cent'increase in number of Primary Schools, between 4th and 5th Survey. The State has not switched over to the national pattern of education (10+24-3) pattern. It is imperative to fall in line with all India pattern. This will en'ail complete restructuring of the existing pattern of educa tion involving substantial investment both financial and human resources, since at least one or more clashes has to be tagged with the Primary and Middle Schools numbering over 4000. Simila»Iy, the responsibility for management of -\-2 or Highey Sec ondary Stage has to be taken over from the University, This will entail delinking of existing Pre-University course (+2) from the college and constituting Higher Secondary Course ^Class XI and XII) under School Board. This will require upgradalion #f High School to Higher Secon dary ^Stage and making provision for about 9000 students currently enrolled in P. U. Course in Colleges. It is also pr<5posed to introduce Vocational Education at the +2 stage^ once the +2 or P. U. Course ii taken over from the N. E. H. U. Along with restructuring the system of education the syllabi and curriculum prevalent about decades are being revised on the pattern of National Core Curriculum. This will require preparation and pro duction of lext-books in about five to seven languages, which arc medium of instruction at various stages of School Education. The University (NEHU) is switching over to the three years Degree Course with richer curriculum ron'ent. This will involve additional liability to provide additional facilities to the college like teaching staff, Laborataro, Library etc. An integrated or amalgamated schools system will be established at different levels to facilitate pooling of physical and human resources and optimum utilisation with a view to increase retentive power of the -«ehools and to contain high rate of drop-out. Against this background and keeping in view these factors as well as the obligations f<'r fulfilling the objectives of ihe National Policy of Education for Universalisation of Elementary Education add remo val of adult illiteracy wiihin the National target date, a need based btn projected^ to trufce the system cof ecdtJuccattibn rrel ant and ustful, q ’yell as to remo^ huge bacHcog cof)f deHcieein due to l(w priorijr aid investnient ir earlier plafis.
