A recent decision of the Quality Improvement Programme (QIP) monitoring committee to entrust schools with preparation of question papers for the Onam examinations for the respective higher secondary classes has drawn flak, with teachers’ organisations alleging that it will affect the conduct of terminal examinations that have a uniform character, not to mention students’ performances.
The Onam examinations will be held from August 16 to 24.
At present, the question papers, prepared in English and Malayalam, are given to students in a booklet form.
