stance.

committing certain crimes because he would know that when he was found guilty, the death penalty

death .

seriously wrong to be able to change and to be rehabilitated.

National Examination of any year to be a frightening specter for all people, not just student, but
parents, brothers, family. Although fact is not something that should be feared, but should be the
concern of any clutter maintenance national examination year. Did not the first time Indonesia
implement national examination, but only upon the chaos of any year. Whether it's a technical issue or
related pros and cons of national examination. When the government arrested the strong need for the
establishment of the exam, there are actually a lot of things that should be assessed as to whether
national examination should exist or not.

For people who agree, national examination is necessary for students as a requirement to graduate
from a school. People who support the national examination explain that the quality of the Indonesia
education will drop without national examination, so they try to defend the current system. They also
think that national examination can motivate students to study harder.

examination kept in school education say that it doesn't need the national examination because the
quality of education does not just depend on the national examination. Further, the national

measure students' competence throughout the semester. There is also opinion that the national
examination will make the students depressed and stress. Moreover the quality of education in
Indonesia is causing uneven result national examination inequality between urban areas with
advanced education than rural areas with limited education facilities. On the other hand society is too
focused on national examination, if a child gets bad grades when national examination does not pass,
then the students would be abused and would deprive the students' confidence. In addition to the
events that occur every year when it will be implemented nationwide exam is still chaotic distribution
of matter and not timely.

of students' cognitive competence in several subjects, on a national scale. However, is not fair if only
national examination score that judge whether students pass or not. Government should make a
regulation that national examination is not the only requirement for students to graduate. There should
be other requirements added such as students' daily score, behavior, and achievement.
