Education Committee Meetings

The Education Committee of the Unitarian Union of Northeast India is a standing committee which is responsible for the oversight of all the Unitarian schools in the region.

The Education Committee started 10 schools in February 15, 1982 with the aid from the IARF and between 1982-92; the Union had opened more than 15 schools and appointed more than 20 church workers (Nongbri, 1983). In 1983, Miss N. Nongbri made a speaking tour of England, Wales, Scotland and Netherlands for Education Project on the request of the IARF.
The Unitarian Union runs schools as part of its social justice programming furthering the pioneering work of Babu Hajom Kissor Singh, the Founder of Unitarian Faith in Khasi, Jaintia and Karbi Anglong. The programmers got expanded with the support received from the IARF after the visit of Lucie Meijer and Christine Hayhurst in 1980. Many schools were established then which necessitated the formation of the Education Committee. At present there are 2 Higher Secondary 5 Secondary schools, 10 Upper Primary Schools and 33 Lower Primary Schools.

Each school has its own School Managing Committee (SMC), made up of Unitarian Church members from the local church. All schools are open to all children in the community, even non-Unitarians. Instruction at the Lower Primary Schools is in both Khasi and English language, At the Upper Primary and Secondary stages, the medium of instruction is English. The Education Committee is given the responsibility to run the schools of the Union and to see that they are functioning properly.
