Meghalaya Approves Community-Integrated Skill Learning for Classes VI–X

Overview

• Community-Integrated Skill Learning will be embedded in the existing Health and Physical Education subject to shift it from theory to experiential work.
• Fifty percent of the assessment in that subject will now be based on skill learning demonstrated by students.
• Learners will choose skills aligned with their interests or family and community backgrounds, learn them with guidance, and present outcomes for evaluation.
• Officials clarified that students are not required to pursue family occupations, with the aim focused on practical abilities and valuing local livelihoods.
• The Cabinet also approved registration of private candidates for the SSLC examination and cleared items including Meghalaya Day awardees, border area rule amendments, service extensions, and Republic Day preparations.
