ome 19 high schools in Central Java were unable to implement computerized national exams on Monday, the first day of the national exams for senior high school students.
The schools were located in different parts of the province, including in the regencies of Purworejo, Semarang, Demak and Tegal.
“Those schools are located in remote parts of the province so they were unable to use computers at nearby schools. Some others simply lack the supporting facilities or don’t have adequate numbers of computers,” Central Java Education and Culture Agency head Gatot Bambang Hastowo said following an inspection on Monday.
The schools resorted to paper-based exams.
“So, 1,038 high school seniors [in Central Java] are taking paper-based national exams,” Central Java acting governor Heru Sudjatmoko said.
Over 185,000 high school seniors in 1,486 schools across Central Java are sitting the national exams this week.
