The Meghalaya education department has selected 31 schools to launch a pilot digital learning initiative aimed at integrating technology into classrooms.
Meghalaya's state education department announced that 31 schools across the state will participate in a pilot digital learning programme. The initiative seeks to introduce tablets, interactive software and internet connectivity to enhance teaching and learning outcomes.
The selected schools will receive hardware kits and training for teachers over the next six months, after which the programme's impact will be evaluated. The rollout is part of a broader effort to modernise education in the Northeastern region and bridge the digital divide.
Officials said the pilot will help identify best practices for scaling digital tools to more schools statewide. Funding for the project comes from the state budget and central government schemes aimed at promoting digital education.
