Amid concerns that another delay to the 2013 national examinations could occur in some areas, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono ordered the Indonesian Military (TNI) to mobilize its resources to help the distribution of exam materials.

Yudhoyono issued the order on Tuesday in a meeting with Education and Culture Minister Mohammad Nuh, TNI Commander Adm. Agus Suhartono and National Police chief Gen. Timur Pradopo who were summoned to deal with the situation due to problems in the distribution of exam materials, which resulted in the delay of the exam in 11 provinces. The 11 provinces are expected to commence the exams on Thursday.

Your comments:

Education and Culture Minister Mohammad Nuh should have resigned like the officials in the Japanese government who failed to carry out their task.

The education minister seems to have failed his exams.

Mohammad

SBY should immediately relieve Pak Nuh from his post and endorse the Indonesian Forum for Budget Transparency'€™s (FITRA) report to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to investigate the procurement of the exam papers.

'€œAccording to FITRA, PT Ghalia Indonesia Printing, which won the tender for the 11 provinces, offered the highest price for the project and should not have won the tender.'€

We know that. The tenders are probably awarded to whoever gives the biggest kickbacks.
