Students concerned over national exam delay


The delay of this year’s high school national examinations in 11 of the total 33 provinces across the country has left students and parents confused and disappointed. 

Students in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) and Gorontalo expressed their concerns over the issue since they only knew about the delay on Monday. 

NTB and Gorontalo are just two among the 11 provinces facing a delay for the national examinations, which started on April 15.

The other provinces are Bali, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), South Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, North Sulawesi, West Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi and Central Sulawesi.

The government has failed to distribute materials as scheduled or three days before the exam to allow for all provinces to simultaneously begin the national exam. As of Sunday afternoon, no shipments of the overall exam materials had arrived in the 11 provinces. 

Education and Culture Minister Mohammad Nuh announced that the national examinations for the 11 provinces would start on April 18.
