Meghalaya To Train Teachers Online

The Meghalaya government is tying up with IGNOU to train its elementary school teachers ‘online’ to save on teachers’ training programmes and cope with the demands of the provisions of Right to Education (RTE). “We are tying up with Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) for imparting on-line ‘in-service’ training to the teachers of the state this year,” the Education Minister Mr Roytre C Laloo said. “Besides this, fresh teachers will also be given a two-year training course by DIETs of the state,” he said.
