Written By : MOH. GUFRON
Education is a way to get knowledge applied by learning process. Everyone needs it
to improve their selves to better life. And it can assist us to go out from stupidity. However
there are several problems often occur in education itself. The problems always invite our
concern, including in our country Indonesia. In Indonesia, problems about education come
widely without stopping, from province to national level. One of them is national
examination that happened several times ago, the problem is new for us, because the national
examination previously went clearly. Every school in Indonesia must hold it every year
because it is as a passing requirement for each student. National examination is a complicated
problem, it has shortage and excess. Therefore, it is being government attention focus
especially for Education and Cultural Department of Republic of Indonesia. Although many
people want this national examination refused from national education system, but the
Ministry of Education and Cultural Muh Nuh still maintain it for next year. The problem of
education above is not only the government responsibility, but all of stakeholders must come
together to improve the quality of education and produce a brilliant solution for this problem.
All of us must help and complete at each other. The one of many ways we can do to solve the
problem is, we have to make a happiness learning environment in order nothing heavy
encumbrance for students to study. From this solution, we expect the problem of education
can be solved.
