Indonesia: Call to Not Revoke University Entry Test

The Regional Representatives Council, or DPD, has urged Indonesia's Education Minister Muhammad Nuh to delay a plan to recruit state university students based on their national final school examination results, writes Hasyim Widhiarto for The Jakarta Post. State universities currently recruit most of their students through admission tests.
Sulistiyo, head of a DPD committee overseeing education, religion and people's welfare, said last week that the plan required a thorough discussion with experts and schools before its implementation.
It was "common" for schools to violate national examination procedure to help their students pass the test, which meant school-leaving results did not actually represent the real achievements of students, Sulistiyo said in a statement.
