Shillong: Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma announced on Monday the postponement of the Meghalaya Teacher Eligibility Test (MTET), which was originally slated for May 29. The decision follows discussions with a delegation of educators who raised concerns regarding scheduling conflicts, citing the difficulty of balancing rigorous examination preparation with existing classroom responsibilities and mandatory national assignments, including Census and SIR duties.
Addressing the public during an event in Damas, North Garo Hills, the Chief Minister underscored the government's long-term commitment to educational advancement. While acknowledging that the state has successfully expanded its school network through significant fiscal investment, Sangma noted that the current priority remains enhancing the quality of instruction, a process he emphasized will require sustained focus and time.
During the same visit, the Chief Minister laid the foundation stone for a new mini stadium in Damas. Highlighting the role of sports in youth development, Sangma reported that the state is currently managing 240 sports infrastructure projects. The administration aims to scale this figure to 510 projects by 2028, ensuring equitable access to athletic facilities across every district, block, and locality in Meghalaya to better foster competitive talent.
