In different places, Batam City Education Department, Hendri Arulan, said that National Examination was actually government standard to determine the level of student uptake in subjects received.

So far, UN has not become the basis for determining graduation.

"If this is a national policy. Actually it does not matter," he said.

However, said Hendri, if the government had considered all matters related to how to see the absorption of student learning.

If it has been abolished from the center, regional Disdik itself can only implement it.

"That is what is still ambiguous so far by education experts. The consideration is the basis for measuring ability of absorption is, if there's no national exam," he said.

Hendri added that school exams depend on each region.

There are high levels of problem, there are also low levels.

Nationally it is difficult to measure. (tribunbatam.id/Roma Uly Sianturi)
