Cancellation of Ujian Nasional (UN)

Updated: Jul 28, 2020



As of March 27, the number of coronavirus cases in Indonesia surpassed the staggering number of 1,000. The increasing rate of cases has impacted the nation in several ways, including the cancellation of the national exams or Ujian Nasional. This shocking decision was made on Monday in a teleconference between Nadiem Makarim, the Minister of Education and Culture, and lawmakers. “The spread of the COVID-19 is expected to occur until April, so it is impossible for us to force students to gather for the national exam under the threat of the pandemic. Therefore, we agreed that the national exam will not be administered,” said Syaiful Huda, a politician in the National Awakening Party (PKB). The government has expressed plans to replace the national exams with assessments of cumulative grades on students’ report cards.
