Addressing the gathering, the Hon’ble Minister emphasised the importance of such programmes in helping teachers understand and align themselves with the objectives of NEP 2020. He noted that although six years have passed since its introduction, there is still a long way to go in effectively implementing the policy.

The Minister stated that teachers are the core of a progressive society and play a crucial role in shaping the future generation. Highlighting the demographic reality of India as a youth-dominated nation, he remarked that classrooms are the places where young minds can be transformed into responsible and capable individuals. He described teachers as a “refinery” that helps shape and refine the potential of students.

The Minister further stressed that the education sector is highly dynamic and urged teachers from across the state who attended the workshop to continually update, retrain, and upgrade themselves with evolving technology and modern teaching practices. He warned that failure to adapt could result in students overtaking teachers in knowledge, as students today have access to information from multiple sources.

He also highlighted that the Government of Meghalaya has addressed this challenge by introducing policies such as the Meghalaya Teacher Training Academics to strengthen teacher training and professional development
