Itanagar: The Arunachal Pradesh Cabinet on Wednesday directed the education department to ensure strict adherence to the execution of the "Mission Shikshit Arunachal by 2029" plan to achieve its full success.
During a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Pema Khandu, the education department presented a comprehensive plan under the banner "Transformation of Education Landscape in Arunachal Pradesh." The plan was developed after extensive study, research, and field visits across the state.
According to a statement from the Chief Minister's Office, the department aims to execute this three-year action plan to transform the education sector. The plan focuses on building a future-ready education system that ensures quality learning for every child by improving infrastructure, optimizing human resources, and empowering teachers with innovative and experiential teaching methods.
The mission seeks to eliminate single-teacher schools and ensure all schools are equipped with adequate classrooms, hostels, toilets, drinking water, and electricity. In terms of digital infrastructure, at least 80 percent of government schools will be provided with internet connectivity, smart classrooms, and digital learning resources.
Education governance will be strengthened through data-driven decision-making, school monitoring, and teacher accountability. Additionally, teacher training institutions and capacity-building initiatives will be reinforced to enhance the overall education system.
The plan also emphasises equitable distribution of human resources across schools, with teacher transfers conducted transparently through an online computerized system. To address subject-wise teacher vacancies, a tech-driven system will be implemented, and a robust merit-based structure will be developed for tenure, promotion, and salary, rewarding outstanding teachers.
The plan targets full foundational literacy and numeracy competency for students in grades 1-3, improved board exam performance to achieve a 100% pass rate for Class 10 students, and the introduction of a holistic development curriculum from grades 1-12.
