Arunachal: Govt signs MoUs with NGOs to run Eklavya Model Schools

MoUs have been signed between Arunachal Pradesh government and NGOs to run three Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) in the state.

Itanagar: Underlining the importance of quality education, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Saturday called upon the state’s education department to focus on restructuring the functioning of government schools.

“The teachers of government schools are highly paid compared to those teaching in NGO-run ones, but the difference in the quality of education between these schools is stark. We are producing certificate holders but not people with real knowledge,” Khandu said while reiterating his concern for the poor quality of education in government-run schools.
