MANIPUR COUNCIL OF HIGHER EDUCATION
ORIGIN:
The origin of the Education Department of Manipur dates back to 1903 when Rev. Pattigrew an educationist and a philanthropist became the first honorary inspector of schools under the Education Department of Assam. Prior to 1950 there was no separate Department of Education in Manipur. A separate Department of Education was created for the first time in Manipur on the 20th January 1950 with Shri T.Kipgen as Asstt. Secretary to the Government of Manipur. He was responsible for all education policies and programmes with regard to all types of schools in the hills and plains.
Manipur's policy of education is based on the national policy that emphasizes on universalisation of elementary education.
Objectives of Department of Education:
1. Supervision and inspection.
2. Framing of curriculum and syllabi and selection of textbooks.
At present, the Education Department of Manipur has been divided into 4 (four) different entities viz.
(1) Department of Education (University and Higher Education)
(2) Department of Education (S)
(3) State Council of Educational Research and Training, Government of Manipur and
(4) Department of Adult Education.
