Nadiem Makarim delete UNBK??!!

Mendikbud nadiem Makarim hapus UN

Minister of Education and Culture Nadiem Makariem clarified a number of reports which said he was planning to abolish the National Examination (UN) in 2021.

He emphasized that the more appropriate word was not to abolish the National Examination, but instead replace the National Examination with a new assessment system.

"Some things so that there is no misperception, the UN is not abolished. Sorry, the word deleted is only headlines in the media so that it is clicked, because it is the best-selling. Thus, the UN is replaced as a competency assessment," Nadiem said in a joint meeting of the House of Representatives Commission X at the DPR.



In addition to the competency assessment, the UN will also be replaced by a character survey.

According to Nadiem, the two assessments were a simplification of the UN.



He also emphasized once again that the right language was not to remove the UN, but rather to replace the UN system.

"What is deleted is the format as it is now. What is deleted is the format per subject following the completion of the syllabus rather than the curriculum," he explained.



"Replaced, but with a minimum competency assessment, which is almost like something like PISA, namely literacy, numeracy, plus there is a character survey," continued Nadiem.

Regarding the minimum competency assessment and character survey, Nadiem has explained it in a working meeting with the House of Representatives Commission X.

There are three reasons the UN needs to be replaced by both of the assessment patterns.

UN is considered too focused on the ability to memorize and burden students, parents, and teachers.



In addition, the national examination is also considered not to touch students' cognitive and character development abilities.

"To assess even the cognitive aspects is not stable. Because cognitive is not tested, but aspects of memory. Memory and cognitive are two different things
"It does not even touch the character, values ​​of the child that I said, even as important or more important than cognitive abilities," he continued.
