Recently, our minister of education, just proposed seem-to-be-bright new idea : to integrate the UN (National Exam) and SNMPTN (National Exam for the Entrance of Public University).
According to Mr. Muhammad Nuh. The dual system of examination, is a form of extravagance and waste of time. He claimed that if the Elementary schooler may enter the Junior High School with their National Exam’s score, and a Junior High Schooler also may enter the Senior High School with the same system. Why the Senior High Schooler’s may not do the same for their entrance for university?
After all, he said that the cost for the SNMPTN is quite expensive. Rp 175.000,00 for the ‘SNMPTN Undangan’ (Invitation-based) and Rp 150.000,00 for the ‘SNMPTN Tertulis’ (Written test).
