"Of course we all want them to pass. But it must be based on the regulations and honesty,"the minister said after visiting State High School 70 in Jakarta to see the preparations before the implementation of national exams today.
The minister said the government called on the students to do their best to pass the exams. Even if some students failed the test, he said, they could follow a re-test program or repeat of the national exams next year.
The result of the national exams is one of the factor that contribute to the decision of whether or not a student can further their study to a higher school or not. Another factor that determines a student`s graduation from school is the grade he or she obtained during his or her study.(*)
