The pass percentage of government schools did not reach even 55 per cent before but this time it crossed 60.4 per cent, which is a great achievement.

The minister continued that for bringing out toppers from government schools, steps have been taken up by the government by ensuring necessary infrastructures.

Moreover, shortage of teachers will be resolved through recruitment for filling up posts left vacant following superannuation.

A transfer policy for teachers which is in tune with the present time is also being drafted.

Rationalisation of teachers will be taken up so that students do not face any issues, he assured.

Basanta also informed that under the directive of the chief minister, a Manipur Command and Control Centre for education will be opened to sort out where and how teachers are mentoring the students for which the central government has sanctioned Rs 3 crore.

Education Department has taken up initiative for modernising the education system including starting a training programme for teachers called 'Star Education' under which up to 250 teachers have been trained, he stated.

The minister also noted that the higher pass percentage of girls than the boys in this year's result is a sign for a good future of the society.
