Is National Examination Necessary?

The national examination has become a hot topic to discuss in Indonesia. The main controversy
regarding to national examination is whether or not it is necessary to continue the national exams
(UN).

Some other debates focus on whether the quality of Indonesian education depends on the national
exam and whether the quality of the Indonesian education system will worsen without a national
exam.

Those who support the national exam, believe that the quality of the Indonesian education system
will get worse without the national exam, so they try to defend the current system. They also believe
that the national exam can be used to measure how far educational program designed by the
government works.

However, for those who disagree with the national exam, the result of the national exam can’t give a
clear image of students’ ability in general since the issues of cheating always happen. Furthermore,
the national exam only measures a small portion of students’ competence in specific subjects and
does not measure students’ competencies throughout the semester.

Above all, the national examination can still be used as an instrument to evaluate the level of
students cognitive competence in certain subjects, on a national scale.
