Higher secondary schools in Kerala are not bound by the decisions of the Quality Improvement Programme (QIP) monitoring committee of the General Education department, an RTI query has revealed.
The department takes important academic decisions, including the conduct of exams, at the QIP monitoring panel meetings.
The reply was given to S. Manoj, general secretary, Aided Higher Secondary Teachers Association. Mr. Manoj had sought to know if the higher secondary sector was supposed to follow the decisions taken at the QIP monitoring panel meetings; which were the organisations involved; what was the criterion for choosing them; and whether there were organisations representing the higher secondary sector and various categories of teachers in it.
