00:00The Minister of Basic and Middle Education, or Mendik Dasmen, Abdul Mutti, plans to reintroduce education policies, including free learning curriculum, the system of accepting new education participants, or PBDB, with a zonation path, to the establishment of a national or UN test.
00:19Prior to this, after accepting a position with his ex-girlfriend Budristek in the 2019-2024 period, Abdul Mutti explained that he and his team will re-examine the three policies by hearing input from various parties.
00:35The Secretary-General, PP Muhammad Yahya, said that it is important to look at education issues together through various studies.
00:43In addition to research on education in Indonesia, this study also comes from the input of the public directly.
00:49He added that his team will first hear input and aspirations from the regional government, the public, as well as educators, experts, and even journalists on the advantages and disadvantages of the three policies so far.
01:05Before being abolished in 2021, the UN became a measure of academic achievement at the national level and became one of the components determining the graduation of students in Indonesia.
01:17In the era of the leadership of Nadiemah Karim as Minister of Education, Culture, Research and Technology, the abolition of the UN aims to create a more comprehensive and relevant evaluation system with the challenges of education today,
01:29as well as to reduce the psychological pressure that students have been feeling due to the national exam.
01:36In return, the government introduced a national assessment that includes three main components, namely minimum competency assessment, character survey, and learning environment survey.
01:47In its implementation, the national assessment is more focused on measuring student basic skills and characteristics that do not determine graduation.
01:55The 10th Commission of the Republic of Indonesia itself gave an opportunity to discuss further about the plan of Mendik Jasmin Abdul Mutti to re-impose the national test.
02:05The Chairperson of the 10th Commission of the Republic of Indonesia, Hatifah Syaifudian, said that the plan needed to be studied further so that it does not become something that is actually feared by students, both in elementary school, middle school, and high school.
02:19In addition, he emphasized that in the future, if the national test is re-imposed, prevention must be carried out so that deception does not occur in the implementation of the test.
02:31According to him, one of the good sides of the national test is to motivate students to be more motivated to study.
02:38In the interim confirmation, the Chairperson of the National Institute of Research and Innovation, Trina Vizhanti, assessed that the implementation of the national test must be accompanied by system improvements in its implementation.
02:51One of them, said Trina, is to use newer assessment technology.
02:56She said that assessment knowledge at the moment has reached the stage of being able to detect deception.
03:00Thus, the use of test or CAD adaptive computers based on modern test theory can be one of the alternatives to be applied.
03:09There is also a reference to the speech given by the national test, Trina admitted that she welcomes the speech to be held again by the UN in all basic education unions in Indonesia.
03:19The difference was conveyed by the Director-Executive of the Center for Education and Policy Studies, or PSPK, Nisa Felicia.
03:26She assessed that there would be a setback if the national test was carried out again.
03:30Because, according to her, the national test has a high risk because it affects the graduation of children and school reputation.
03:37As a result, Nisa said, there was a lot of deception in the UN hearing.
03:41Nisa also pointed out the impact of the UN on the child learning process.
03:43Because, she said, the UN will revive the paradigm that children must be forced to learn in order to achieve high values.
