In a bid to improve learning outcomes and prepare students for competitive exams, Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Monday launched Project ASPIRE (Accelerating Student Potential through Interactive & Remote Education). The Rs 1.57-crore initiative supported by NITI Aayog targets gaps in access to quality teaching, career guidance and coaching facilities, particularly in districts such as Ri-Bhoi.
Project ASPIRE, to be implemented in collaboration with FILO Edtech, is structured as a two-module digital learning system offering app-based academic and career support for both school students and job aspirants. For students of Classes 9 to 12, the platform provides preparation for board examinations and competitive tests such as NEET, JEE and CLAT.
It includes 24×7 live academic support, allowing students to connect with teachers within a minute. The content is aligned with the Meghalaya Board of School Education curriculum and is supplemented by live classes, recorded lessons and a question bank of over one lakh questions. Monthly assessments will be conducted through schools, with performance tracked at the district level to identify students needing additional support. The platform also includes regular career counselling sessions.
