National Exam: Pro and Contra?
Issue
National exam becomes the hot topic in most of discussions.
Though the Supreme Court has rejected an appeal by the go-vernment on the
organization of the national exams, the controversy over whether it is
necessary to maintain the national exams (UN) has continued. Some debates
include the primary questions such as; does the quality of Indonesia education
depend on the national exam?, will the quality of the Indonesian education
system worsen without natipnal exam?
Supporting
Point
People, who support the national exam explain that the
quality of the Indonesia education system will drop without the national exam,
so they try to defend the current system.
Contrasting
Point
Hoever there are people who disagree with the opinion. Those
who against this national exam kept in our high school education say that it
doesn't need the national exams because the quality of education does not just
depend on the national exam. Further, the national exam only measures a small
portion of students' competence in specific subjects, and does not measure
students' competences throughout the semester.
Conclusion
or Recomendation
In fact, the national examination can still be useful as an
instrument to evaluate or detect the level of students' cognitive competence in
several subjects, on a national scale.
