NATIONAL EXAMINATION SHOULD BE ABOLISHED

First of all, I would like to thank Allah who had given us chance and time, so we can attend
this nice competition. Then, Salawat and Salam, let’s send to our prophet, the great
Muhammad, peace be upon Him Who had succeeded in changing our life from the darkness
into the good one. Right. In this occasion I would like to deliver my speech about National
Examination. In here I state that National Examination should be abolished.

Ladies and gentlemen,

National Examination is one of criteria or reference to measure the successful of education

process for students, teachers and school. National Examination debut was started since this
policy was stated in 2003. There are many opinion raised up because of the policy. National
Examination creates the bad thing only. Both students and teachers feel National Examination
derestimated on it. They faced many problems and finally a number of ways are practiced in
National Examination. There is a lot of dishonesty and corruption happened. Now I want to state
that National Examination should be abolished. There are some reasons why do I say like that.
First, National Examination only takes a cognitive aspect while in education there are three
aspects, Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor. But in fact, it just takes one aspect. The others
aspect do not examine in National Examination. How come it is happened? In the school, the
students study several subjects. But in National Examination the students are only tested on
Indonesian Language, English, Math and Science. Then the forth subject being a determination
of students. Pass or not on their education. It so National Examination strange but that is the
fact that we faced nowadays Secondly, Social and psychological aspect. The government state
the National Examination passing grade are 5.50. This policy makes students, teachers, and
also school stress. They are in worry. The effect of this policy is the student are forced studying
hard. Everyday they burden with serious lesson, National Examination materials and soon. Time
by time the students be stressful and weak. They became sick not only their physic but also
their mental. So. It will be more responsible if the students who have studied three years in SMP
or SMA get their right to pass the school well. If the National Examination is still needed and
have to be done. Don’t judge it as a reference to pass or the only target of education views. It
will create the bad effect to everyone who earn on it. Next. Economics aspect. National
Examination needs so much cost. The cost that APBN gives to National Examination increase
in every years. There is also a good system to arrange it. National Examination fort National
Examinationately, the cost of National Examination often corrupt by some people. It opens
corruption in many aspects. From the stage holder till to the school through out Indonesia. So, it
is clear that There is something wrong with National Examination. If it still National
Examinations to the next year. What will be happened. The last one, Is National Examination
activity honestly? It is being a public secret that there are so many play foul as long as the
examination. The school treats the rule. They became dishonest. Many students cheat as long
as the exam. Many teacher give the answer to the students and other dishonest. Finally.
National Examination is the government policy. The government should abolish National
Examination. National Examination only give bad effect to everyone. If it still happened and to
be the only one criteria in passing the students. It will always be a big problem.

I think that is all. Thank you for your attention Assalamualaikum wr.wb.
