Imphal, March 15:
Denouncing the functioning and the system of imparting education under National Institute of Open School (NIOS) in Manipur, Manipuri Students' Federation (MSF) has categorically stated it created more educational problems rather that solving them.
The style of functioning NIOS in Manipur has no stable policy and programme as in other parts of the country.
Instead of bringing advancement in the education, NIOS rather takes education backward, secretary general of the students' body Ch Ananta said in a statement.
Pointing some of the alleged inherent flaws in the NIOS system of Education in the State, MSF said that there is no fix structure of charging admission fee from the students nor it could cultivate the habit of reading and inculcate the spirit of competitiveness among the students.
Moreover, the NIOS encouraged impersonation during examination apart from the fact that question papers are leaked out easily.
In view of all these flaws, their is the urgent need to modify the rules of conducting examination under NIOS on the line of Board of Secondary Council, Manipur or the Council of Higher Secondary Education, Manipur, the secretary general observed.
