Liputan6.com, Jakarta The Indonesian National Test (UN) has for years plagued with pro and cons squabble arguing its incoherent system, the problematic central and regional areas standardized tests, the test information leakage and many other equally significant issues.
Despite the hotly-argued debacle, the National Test will continue to be held throughout this year. The Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs has a new strategy to minimize pejorative arguments directed to the issue.

Now, the National Test will be done online or virtually.
As shown on Liputan 6 Siang SCTV on Wednesday (1/4/2015), the computer system allows students to do the test which has already been provided by the system in the computer. The answer sheet will no longer be in use.
However, so far there are only several schools that have adapted its computer system to the ones accommodated by the Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs.
One of them is 70 Highschool, Jakarta. As many as 350 students are facilitated with 120 units of adjusted computer.
70 Highschool will be holding its National Test on the 14th of April 2015. It will be divided into three sessions, morning, afternoon and evening time.
Although there is a growing concern that the test can be hacked due to the fact that it is in the computer system, 70 Highschool assures that there will be no attempt of cheating or leakage regarding the information from the test.
"So, the system asks us to download it first. We will not able to receive any information regarding the test even 2 days prior to the test. We will have the information as soon as the students are already seated. So I assure that there will be no cheating," The UN Managing Committee from 70 Highschool, Asriyanto informed. (Akp/Ein)
