This is because basically, all the questions are the same materials that have been taught by teachers. So, they should not easily believe if received any text message telling the exam’s answers, and use their own answers.
In addition, he also urges the students to behave positively after the graduation is announced and not do graffiti haphazardly. This is because after the graduation announcement, Hartono will inspect schools and bring wide white fabrics for students to express their excitement.
Meanwhile, Head of North Jakarta Secondary Education Sub-Department, Andri Kusnarso, informed there are 80 senior high schools (SMA) and 70 vocational schools (SMK) in North Jakarta that participate in UN. From that amount, seven schools join other schools because they yet have operational permit.
In SMAN 72 alone, there are seven SMA PGRI 12 students and seven Universal School students joining for UN implementation. While for the total number of UN participants this year, there are 7,087 SMA students and 8,023 SMK students in North Jakarta. His party is 100 percent of graduation rate.
