Kangpokpi, February 20 2025:
In a move to reform the education system in Sadar Hills, Kuki Students' Organisation (KSO), Sadar Hills has stepped up its efforts to ensure a fair and transparent examination process for class X and XII students.
As part of its education policy, the Student body has been actively monitoring the ongoing board examinations across the district.
KSO volunteers stationed at various examination centres meticulously frisked candidates at the entry gates to prevent malpractices including verifying students' identities to prevent impersonation and ensuring that no unauthorised notes, electronic devices, or other cheating materials were brought into the examination halls.
The proactive initiative by KSO Sadar Hills aims to curb the rising concerns of unfair means in examinations, which have long plagued the education system.
By implementing stringent monitoring, the student body seeks to instil a culture of honesty, discipline, and academic excellence among students.
Highlighting the significance of this initiative, KSO, Sadar Hills assistant education secretary Lalboi Chongloi reaffirmed the organisation's unwavering stance against unfair practices in examinations.
"Education is the backbone of our society.
If we allow malpractices to thrive, we are compromising the future of our youth.
This strict monitoring is not meant to harass students but to encourage them to uphold the values of hard work and honesty," he said.
The student body has urged all stakeholders - including teachers, parents, students, educational institutions, and policymakers - to join the fight against academic dishonesty.
He also reiterated that KSO Sadar Hills is not only working to eliminate malpractices but is also pushing forward to transform the district's education sector into a model of excellence.
Meanwhile, Kangpokpi HQ SDC, acting as executive magistrate along with the zonal education officer, inspected, multiple examination centres across the district headquarters.
