Brother and Sister,
My
name is Florencia Selvy Allolinggi
from XII Exact 2. Firstly, I want to
say thanks for the opportunity which has given to me, so I can stand here today
to deliver my speech about “The Controversial of National Examination”. Before that,
let us say thank to God because of His blessing, we can meet here today, and of
course to see my beautiful speech and face. And also, Praise and greet to our
Jesus Christ who brought us from the darkness to the brightness.
Brother and Sister,
As we
know together, that the purpose of Indonesia’s education has been existed in
UUD (Constitution) 1945 that to educate the nation’s life become clever. On the
other hand there are a lot of controversial which happen. Many students and
educators still ask about the affectivity of National Examination. This
controversial comes while the National Examination function at first which is
to increase the National Education system standard has changed to be
decreasing. How can it be guys? It happens because the government increases the
standard qualification year by year without watch the ability and capability of
each schools and students in this country. For example, in 2010 the standard
score to be graduated is 5,25. In 2011 and 2012, it's the same score 5,5. The difference
in 2011 is pure from National Examination, but in 2012 there is an accumulation
between 60% from National Examination score and 40% from School Examination
score which is consist of report around 3 years and School Examination. The
differences happen to lose the stigma that just only National Examination which
decide their destiny. By this concern, the government gives consideration for
each school to report the students study process around 3 years, but still it
is just only 40% from its accumulation. It means that the National Examination
still get the domination power to decide the destiny of each students. More
over, in 2013 the packet has been added to be 20 packets which make students
become scary because they can not have the same partner in the class, so they
can not ask while the national examination test happens.
Brother and Sister,
It
was horrific! In our process to educate the nation there are many mistakes
while to face the National Examination the students search the answer; they try
to cheat, they’re afraid first before face it, the teacher also can not do
anything except give the student motivation. However, they also just keep quite
while they know that the student do wrong way to get good scores. In the
several areas, even some schools steal the question sheet. More over, in some
areas also those are exist about the answer seller of National Examination.
Recently, also there are several provinces which did not get the question and
answer sheet. What happen to our
country?
We
may conclude that government just spend much education fund to create this
tragedy. Actually, the education fund is much better to be allocated in other
sector, like to fix some schools building, to give facility, walfare for the
teacher, to train the teacher and so on. We must fix the sector of education
first before hold the National Examination, because as we see right now from
those tragedies Indonesia has not been ready yet to face it.
The
Indonesia's education quality has not been equal, there are still many schools
which lack of facilities, or some schools in a village still have problem with
their building, teachers, materials and so on. It is impossible for them to get
high quality from education in its condition, so it is better for government to
finish it first. We can compare with another country as example in Japan. Japan
hold the National Examination from the kindergarten until high school rate, but
we think Japan has been ready. It is because in Japan has had good quality of
each education sector. The first one is their human aspect, and the second is
their system. In Japan, the facilities in schools are enough, also for the
teachers has been trained well, the system of education also really determine
their discipline. So at the very first time they have been ready for it, if we
compare with our country.
Brother and Sister,
If
the government still continue the National Examination, we count that it is not
appropiate way to increase our education system. It will just decrease our
educational system, because in the end of the day there will be more students
who do wrong way to be graduated. Maybe just several schools who do it honest.
The government also is not truly wrong, because this program at first is held
to make our education be equal in the world, but we have not been ready yet to
face it. For that, I really want to say, that for the all educators to concern
about it. We must improve our education system first, so I really believe
someday we can be equal with other country. For the all students, still
continue to study hard, Indonesia’s destiny is in yours. For the teachers, you
must work hard to still educate our nation, think that we must educate people
just to make them become a good person in a right way, not in a wrong way. So,
in my last speech “we should erase the National Examination first, because it
has many controversials and Indonesia has not been ready yet to face it”. The
good nation is a nation who has good peoples! Let's to keep in spirit for
Indonesia!
That's
all about my speech. I hope it will be useful for us. Thank you
