The VPP on Wednesday strongly countered Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma’s justification for the CM IMPACT guidebooks initiative, asserting that the standard of examinations should not be lowered to the extent that they feel like no examinations at all.
“We have already said it should be scrapped,” said VPP spokesperson Batskhem Myrboh. “If the CM IMPACT is only a model for students and the real questions are different, I’ll accept that. But questions are actually being set directly from the guidebook. In fact, not even one question should come from it.”
Myrboh emphasised that examination standards must remain robust and credible. “If our students performed well without a single question from those guidebooks, I would salute the Education department,” he added.
