Does national examination is really important for development of education in Indonesia? Some people said that the national examination is not the right way to know about the student’s skill. Those statement is really reasonable because there are too many deviations in the national examination. The implementation of national examination is causing each student in Indonesia does not have a good characteristic in the future.

 

Actually, the last year student in elementary, junior high and senior high schools face the national examination.  There are some people that not agree that national examination is necessary for every student. They think national examination cannot score objectively on student. “Someone who knows the true score of each student is their teacher” they said. Moreover, this two sides that agree and disagree with national examination, it makes the student feel worry and afraid with this examination. Things that worried when students do anything to avoid their fear.

 

The student who feels worry will be in high pressure and confusion. They doubt with themselves and cannot concentrate well on studying mathematic, English and bahasa Indonesia which are the subjects that will be testing on the national examination. When they get this situation, they will do anything to pass this examination.

 

One thing that really bad after they feel in pressure is they will do cheating. They will look for someone who have the answer sheet and they will pay for it. Even though the government said that the security to guard the answer sheet is very good, but the fact is there are some students who was detected by the examination keeper brings the answer sheet. If the things do, for what any National exam when students must school during 3 year and finaly they have been cheating.

 

After knowing that the student who cannot concentrate will do anything for passing the national examination, of course it will make the future of Indonesian student is bad. And also, it will be difficult their soft skill because they have become accustomed with cheating that not a good habit. By seeing the facts above, the national examination should delete from Indonesia because it is not the right way to measure the student’s skill.
