There has been continued delay in the recruitment of Lower Primary (LP) and Upper Primary (UP) teachers in Meghalaya, said Timjim K Momin, president of MPYC in a statement.

According to the MPYC, despite multiple assurances from the state government thousands of Meghalaya Teacher Eligibility Test (MTET)-passed candidates are still awaiting recruitment.

At the same time, government schools in the state continue to face severe shortage of teachers, Momin said.

Referring to an assurance given by education minister on 24 January 2025 that advertisements for teacher recruitment would be issued within one or two days, the MPYC president said, “However, more than two months have passed, and no recruitment notification has been released.”

“This inaction reflects the government’s failure to fulfill its promises and address the rising unemployment crisis in the state,” Momin stated.

The MPYC president referred to another statement given by director of Education Swapnil Tembe on 14 February 2025 that over 500 teaching positions remain vacant in government schools, and said, “Yet the government has taken no concrete steps to fill these vacancies, affecting not just aspiring teachers but also thousands of students who are being deprived of quality education due to staff shortages.”

He urged chief minister Conrad K Sangma and the Education department to immediately issue the recruitment advertisement and begin the hiring process without any further delay.

The government’s lack of urgency on this matter raises serious concerns about its commitment to the education sector and the future of Meghalaya’s youth, Momin said.

He also assured that the Youth Congress stands in solidarity with the people of Meghalaya in demanding a transparent and immediate recruitment process to address both unemployment and the education crisis.
