National Exams and Paradox of Honesty

Article Summary by: iqbalun     

Original Author: Nur Syam

Seriously outside good reason, when the answers concerning the national exam (UNAS) in some educational institutions
was stated same. After scanning through the process note that the mode is the same in a matter of UNAS. Answer originally deleted and then replaced the new answers. Caused by the deletion of the less clean, all the answers can not be scanned. As a result, the staff clean the scanner must answer the question deleted. Strangely that was the new all the same. Similarity answer is then that the test result in the cancellation reap controversy.
Cross debate is not avoided. The elite cross country any dispute about the ability or not re-examination. House of Representatives, Minister of Education, Education Specialist, politician and even other people. Finally it was agreed through the process is long and involved for the test set is not a substitute for re-examination. Although in fact the same, repeat the national exam, but used different words. Not repeated the test but the test replacement.
Of the test was implemented. Controversy also subside. But of course there is a problem that continues left. Namely paradox of honesty. There is a question that is not missed until now. Who answers UNAS replace it. Who answers the remove and replace a new one. Students, teachers or anyone. To this day does not have a clear answer. If students remove the original answers, and who provide a new key. It is also not known whether the teachers who take action to delete the answer and replace it with new answers. Indeed a puzzle that is not easy to answer them or do not even have to find the answer.
This is paradox this country. Until UNAS is to be done with full of lies. In the field of politics known political fact that money is also the lie. Similarly in the social field, such as corruption, collusion, nepotism and so forth. First we can still tap chest that education is an institution that can still be seen as the last fortress of lies in the anti movement. However, with the lie in UNAS, then almost no more that can be trusted in falsehood action in this country.
UNAS happened a large-as instruments to measure the quality of education in Indonesia with other countries, especially the nation's competitiveness, the three-quarter money with other measures. UNAS also can not be used to measure the quality of Indonesian education. Indeed, only 34 high schools and 19 junior high schools should implement a replacement test. However, if indeed be more in depth then have the many other who is also the same. But it is not very vulgar at educational institutions.
There are many ways used to do the cheating. There is a deliberately obscure cheat with some answers in the inequality problem for sophisticated scanning. There is also a key way to provide answers, and answers to distribute to all students. Even more painful is that this action be carried out with involvement of teachers, officials, politicians and so forth. The teachers fear that if many students do not graduate. Credibility of the school will be lower. Officials and politicians also failed to find. Credibility of his leadership also defaced.
Action pragmatism is indeed incompatible with the morality of honesty should be developed through education. If students are not honest, if the teacher does not give examples of honest, if the officer does not create a policy and honest politicians also, if so, then will ago can be brought to the country. Education institutions should be the icon for the process of creating a fair man. Education institutions not only print the smart or intelligent and competitive.
