SHILLONG, OCT 27: Education Minister Lahkmen Rymbui has announced that the state government is set to introduce a structured pay system for teachers by December this year.
This comes after the chief minister accepted the demand for a structured pay system, and the government is now working out the modalities to implement it.
Speaking to media persons on Monday, Rymbui said that consultations with stakeholders, including organizations representing SSA employees, have already begun.
“Once we overcome this issue, all other issues will fall into place,” he added.
The minister emphasized that the government needs to balance its financial resources to improve the social sector, including education, without compromising other sectors.
The exercise is part of the government’s ongoing efforts to reform the education system, pledged by the chief minister in 2018.
The government aims to streamline the education system, with only two structures of schools – government and government-aided, besides private schools.
Rymbui expressed optimism that the government and stakeholders can work together to resolve the issues facing the education sector.
