Sebab rendahnya angka Ujian Akhir Nasional, bahkan ada beberapa SMA yang 100% siswanya tidak lulus, ini karena beberap faktor.
Pertama, sebelumnya pernah dihilangkan Ujian nasional, walhasil setiap sekolah melakukan ujian masing2. Sehingga akhirnya tidak ada standar mutu pendidikan. Sekolah yang bagus dan sekolah yang buruk tetap meluluskan siswanya seperti biasa. Kedua, tidak adanya keseragaman buku pegangan. Sehingga akhirnya ada sekolah yang buku "pegangannya" tidak memenuhi standar mutu. Akibatnya muridnya kesulitan dalam mengerjakan ujian nasional. Ketiga, tidak sesuainya antara bahan pelajaran yang ada di buku pegangan dengan ujian akhir nasional. Akibatnya murid tidak bisa mengerjakan ujian nasional. Ke empat, rendahnya mutu buku pegangan. Idealnya ada bahan pelajaran/keterangan seperti rumus. Kemudian ada contoh soal berikut contoh jawaban. Lalu ada latihan. Setelah itu baru soal. Nah ujian nasional ini sebagian besar bahannya harus berasal dari buku itu. Rendahnya angka ujian nasional tak lepas dari rendahnya mutu pendidikan di negeri kita. > Thursday, June 30, Jakarta Post had several pieces > that were related to > our national education system. > > 1.
