In a push to strengthen science and mathematics education, the Meghalaya government has partnered with US-based CK-12 Foundation to introduce digital, interactive learning tools in schools across the state.
The agreement, signed under the Meghalaya Programme for Adolescent Wellbeing, Empowerment and Resilience (MPOWER) and implemented by the Meghalaya Basin Management Agency, aims to improve conceptual understanding and student engagement—particularly in government and government-aided schools.
Officials said the collaboration comes as the state moves to make science and mathematics compulsory under ongoing curriculum reforms.
“We aim to make these subjects more accessible, practical and engaging for learners,” said Vijay Mantri, Commissioner and Secretary, Education Department, and Co-Project Director of MPOWER.
Under the MoU, CK-12’s open educational platform will be deployed to support classroom teaching, self-paced learning, and teacher-led instruction. The platform offers interactive content, simulations, and AI-enabled tools designed to simplify complex concepts.
