National Exam?
National exam becomes the hot topic
in most of discussions among students, teachers, and parents. Some people
believe that national exam is not necessary for students as a requirement to be
able graduate from a school. In other hand, other people see national exam as
an important indicator to know whether students have mastered all school
materials or not. The debate among society about national examination goes on
until now.
For people who agree, national exam
is necessary for students as a requirement to graduate from a school. People
who support the national exam explain that the quality of the Indonesia
education will drop without the national exam, so they try to defend the
current system. They also think that national examination can motivate students
to study harder.
However there are people who
disagree with the opinion. Those who against this national exam kept in 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.
In conclusion, 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.
However, it is not fair if only national exam score that judge whether students
pass or not. Government should make a regulation that national exam is not the
only requirement for students to graduate. There should be other requirements
added such as students’ daily score, behavior, and achievement.
