About Us

The history of formal education in Meghalaya is a recent one, beginning with the formulation of a Khasi alphabet in 1842 by Rev Thomas Jones, a Welsh missionary. Similarly, for the Garo Hills, a Garo alphabet was evolved in 1902 by American missionaries using the Roman script. Thus, Christian missionaries were the first to start modern education in the Khasi, Jaintia and Garo Hills.

With requirements for a literate society not being high in colonial times, only a few elementary schools were functioning in what is now Meghalaya. The first college was established in Shillong only in 1924 by the Christian Brothers of Ireland. Being a hill station with a bracing climate and a strong colonial influence, Shillong has seen several quality colleges and public schools established over the years. Their alumni are spread across the country and around the world.
