The Department of School Education in Assam has officially announced the renaming of 1,281 Madrasa Education (ME) institutions ME Schools.
Spearheaded by the Board of Secondary Education Assam (SEBA), this transformation involves converting government and provincialised madrasas into regular schools.
State Education Minister Ranoj Pegu shared pivotal details about this change on December 13 through a post on a microblogging site.
