The Indonesian Education Report Card is a follow-up to the National Assessment launched by the ministry as part of the Merdeka Belajar program episode one.
"The National Assessment has become the latest educational evaluation system that focuses on literacy, numeracy, character competencies, and on learning environment conditions that support an effective learning process," Makarim noted in his remarks here on Friday.
The minister affirmed that the implementation of National Assessment aligned with the ministry's principle of accelerating the transformation of Indonesian education, especially in evaluating education.
The National Assessment emphasizes quality-oriented evaluation, integrated systems and information collection, as well as pushes reflection and improvement and not just the final result.
"Here, now, we present the Education Report Card platform that contains a comprehensive National Assessment report and holistic cross-sector analysis for each education unit and region," Makarim remarked.
The Education Report Card is a platform that integrates various educational data to help education units and the Education Office identify achievements and root causes, reflect, and then design data-based improvement strategies, the minister noted.
"The function of the Education Report Card is (to serve) as material to reflect and identify problems in each education unit and the Education Office to further develop a more precise and data-based improvement plan," Makarim explained.
He also invited stakeholders to immediately use the Education Report Card to serve as the basis for all evaluations and improvements in their respective education units.
