Kuki Student Body Leads Education Reform, Fights Exam Malpractice Head-On

In a determined move to reform the education system in Sadar Hills Kangpokpi District, the 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 were stationed at various examination centers, meticulously frisking candidates at the entry gates to prevent malpractice. Their strict checking process included verifying students' identities to prevent impersonation and ensuring that no unauthorized 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 instill a culture of honesty, discipline, and academic excellence among students.

Highlighting the significance of this initiative, Lalboi Chongloi, Assistant Education Secretary of KSO Sadar Hills, reaffirmed the organization'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 stated.

He further emphasized that thousands of students appearing for the Board of Secondary Education Manipur (BOSEM) and Council of Higher Secondary Education Manipur (COHSEM) examinations must earn their success through dedication and merit.

"We have witnessed how malpractice damages the credibility of our education system. It robs deserving students of their opportunities, weakens academic standards, and ultimately harms the future of our community. KSO Sadar Hills will not allow dishonesty to take root in our district. This is a battle we must fight together."

The student body has urged all stakeholders—including teachers, parents, students, educational institutions, and policymakers—to join the fight against academic dishonesty.

"We need teachers to uphold ethical teaching practices, parents to instill discipline and integrity in their children, and students to take pride in their hard work and abilities. Civil society, institutions, and authorities must stand with us in this movement for educational reform," Chongloi added.

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.

"We envision a future where students from Sadar Hills can compete at national and global levels with confidence. A future where our youth are empowered with knowledge, skills, and character. Let us reject the culture of shortcuts and dishonesty. Let us build an education system that produces true scholars, leaders, and responsible citizens."

The initiative has been widely welcomed by parents, educators, and community stakeholders, who believe that such measures will restore the credibility of the examination system and enhance the overall quality of education in Kangpokpi District.

Backing this initiative, the SDC-HQ Kangpokpi, acting as Executive Magistrate representing the district administration, along with the Zonal Education Officer, inspected multiple examination centers across the district headquarters. Their involvement further reinforces the collective commitment to maintaining integrity in the education sector.

With the successful implementation of this initiative, KSO Sadar Hills has sent a strong message—academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. This bold step marks a crucial turning point in fostering a disciplined and merit-based education system in Kangpokpi District, paving the way for a brighter and more competitive future for its students.
