The Bitterness of the Zoning System in Indonesia's Education System

Which means, falsifying the address on the Kartu Keluarga such as entrusting children to the Kartu Keluarga of relatives or other people is no longer something new. This is done so that students can be accepted at favorite schools that are in a zone far from their original residence.

Of course, every education system implemented in Indonesia has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, when viewed from the many cons that exist in this system, Indonesia, especially the Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan (Mendikbud), should change the Penerimaan Peserta Didik Baru (PPDB) system with a system that is fairer and benefits all parties. For example, the Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan (Mendikbud) can return the Penerimaan Peserta Didik Baru (PPDB) system to the previous system, which uses the Nilai Ebtanas Murni (NEM) or passing grade from the Ujian Nasional (UN) results.

Nilai Ebtanas Murni (NEM) from the results of the Ujian Nasional (UN) is considered more fair in the PPDB system and the competitive spirit of students in learning at school. With the passing grade and the UN, students will be more serious in learning and have clearer goals in carrying out education. All students can together feel how to struggle in learning at school and feel satisfied when they get the best grades and bring them to the school they want from the beginning.
