Disaster smoke that hit several areas in Sumatra and Kalimantan predicted will not change the schedule of the National Exam (UN). Because, at this time the students are exposed to the effects of smoke chasing the subject matter that was left behind because schools were closed.
"The school has begun to enter conducive since the beginning of October. So also in Riau school is normal. Jambi entrance, but some districts use the mask as an index of air pollution under 200," said Director General of Basic and Secondary Education Kemdikbud, Hamid Muhammad, on Thursday (15/10 / 2015).
Hamid said the affected areas of smoke, including Riau, Jambi, West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan and West Kalimantan in part, could close schools in approximately two weeks. Thus, Kemdikbud (Education and Culture Department) perform scenarios to address the problem.
"Exam half backwards so 17 to 23 December. Then the holiday was reduced by one week due to replace the lost teaching hours. For the distribution of report cards was delayed so the beginning of January," he added.
The move, said Hamid, is expected to meet mastery learning. As for the weights to the UN will remain comparable with other regions.
"Currently, children who had lost hours of effective learning are being pursued to meet the material and the material for the UN. The parents in Riau was worried about the related mastery learning, but based on reports from the department there can still be met," he said.
Hamid explained, it has set up three strategies to address the impact of the smoke problem for students. However, until now used the strategy is still at the stage of one and two.
"Of the three options that used new option one and two. Preparation UN still enough to learn last December 23. If there is another disaster, wear new third option, which allows the UN to resign a month," he said.
