Shillong: Meghalaya Education Minister, Rakkam A Sangma revealed that the state is facing a problem as 168 primary schools and 101 upper primary schools reported having less than 10 students enrolled each.
Responding to questions about the possibility of school closures, the minister has said that it is not a viable solution.
He also expressed the need for a more thorough analysis of root causes, particularly focusing on infrastructure and availability of teachers.
Regarding consolidation of schools due to low enrollment, Sangma acknowledged that some schools have gone through this process.
However, they have highlighted the impracticality of integrating certain schools, particularly those located in remote or inaccessible areas.
He cited the example of schools located on top of hills with distances of 5 to 10 km, explaining the difficulties faced by students in traveling such long distances.
When asked about the total number of students admitted across the state, Sangma assured that he would provide detailed information once it was verified.
