Members of Committee III of the House of Regional Representatives (DPD) urged the government Wednesday to reconsider maintaining the National Examination as a method to determine whether a student graduates from the final year or not.
"We have conducted discussions with various parties, monitored the examination process in several regions, and conducted dialogs with teachers and headmasters...," Sulistiyo, head of the committee, said in Jakarta.
He said that the discussions and monitoring revealed that many employed cheating methods to help the students pass the examinations.
"The education system has run into systemic failure and damage," Sulistiyo said.
Istigsjaroh, a member of the committee from East Java, said that there were plenty of cheating and suspicious activities that occurred in the regions.
Sulistiyo said that the committee would try to ask the Ministry of Education to evaluate this year's national examination, which the committee dubbed as a "transitional national examination."
